I just upgraded from Ubuntu MATE 16.04 and Eclipse Luna to Ubuntu MATE 18.04 and Eclipse Oxygen.
After upgrading, I notice that the color combinations for highlighted lines in various places make the text illegible, as background and foreground colors are virtually identical—I had no such issues before the upgrade.
So far I have noticed two places where this happens.
In the drop-down list for the tab selector:
In the popup window which appears when debugging a CDT project in Eclipse and hovering over a variable:
I had no such issues in my previous setup, and I cannot find a setting for the background color. What gives?

I'm using Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers Version Neon.3 Release (4.6.3) on Ubuntu, default settings in both. The highlighted background in search view is the same as font color and I cannot see the whole selected line, see the screenshot. Is there any way to change it?
I have to use 3.8, because of Ubuntu and Nvidia. I changed the editor theme to be dark, but the rest (project explorer, the menus, etc) are still bright white. I looked around, but every dark Eclipse plugin that I can find requires Eclipse 4+, and those won't work on mine (I tried :( ).
I am on Ubuntu 13.04 (old because of Nvidia Nsight support). Anything I can do?
Eclipse prior to 4.x used native OS widgets and colors for much of its UI. To change the appearance of those things (e.g., the Explorer views, toolbars, etc) you have to update your operating system colors. To control the Eclipse-specific things (like editor colors), you can install the Eclipse Color Theme plugin from the Eclipse Marketplace.
I switched from Eclipse Indigo to Juno and I have one very irritating problem. When I open a pom editor the tabs under the main window are not visible (these with Dependency Hierarchy and so on). The same thing is when I use the JPDL editor... Is there anybody that has the same problem and knows the solution? My OS is Ubuntu 12.04 and I'm using classical Ubuntu theme. When I use the CSS spy in Eclipse, the tabs are highlited on red, but they are not showing.
After playing with compiz tool in ubuntu 12.04 (changed opacity of ubuntu top panel) something gone wrong with my eclipse indigo. It won't display control panel in ubuntu top panel (default place for windows' controls) but takes whole next line under ubuntu panel. All other applications didn't change behavior. Does anyone know how to roll things back?
I have installed in my eclipse (3.7.1) that i use for Java(JDT) development, aptana plugin because i'm working on some web project sometimes, now my console view have black background also when i'm in Java perspective ...
Why ?
How can i restore the default withe background of the console when i'm in Java perspective ? How can i do ?
As you can see from the screenshot above the name of the console now is : "Aptana Scripting Console" , Why ?
The strange thing is that when i run the application in debug mode the console turn automatically with the default white background, and when i remove the debug instance the console turn black background again ...
Can i change the background color of a view for a specific perspective ?
Update
Switching to Eclipse theme from Preferences > Aptana Studio > Themes i had my Console view white again, but remain the fact that the console is named "Aptana Scripting Console",
seems that aptana override the default eclipse console .
If i try to open the standard JDT Console, i can't because i don't have it in the list, the console appear only when i start debug my application :
Maybe could be a bug of the plugin, or an incompatibility of eclipse with the plugin ...
You could change the theme from Preferences > Aptana Studio > Themes. The default is Aptana Studio, which has the black background, and you could switch to Eclipse.
You could also disable Enable Invasive Themes from the same preferences page to just turn off Aptana theming on Eclipse views.
On the right side there shall be a monitor-like icon with a down-arrow. Check if you have the standard console in that drop-down list.
I don't know about Aptana, but CDT had a similar issue a while back caused by a race condition when accessing the preference store. Maybe Aptana has fallen in the same trap?

The workaround for CDT was to manually reset the console background color, but since I don't have Aptana, I can't help you any further.
