I'm using Eclipse EE Neon (4.6.3) and would like to know how to change the highlight color in the Find field; right now it's the same as the background and it is complicated to edit the searched string. I'm guessing this is only a problem in the default dark theme, which I'm using. I looked at other answers but they were about changing other colors such as the highlight of search results.
Using the Darkest Dark plugin from the Eclipse Marketplace solved this issue for me; it differentiates the selection in the search field unlike the Eclipse default dark theme at that time.
Maybe the newer Eclipse versions have a dark theme without this problem, but I haven't checked.

The color theme in my Eclipse installation somehow works for the text editor only, not everything. It can be seen below. Really appreciate any help.
It looks like you are using a very old version of Eclipse and switched to the Dark theme without restarting Eclipse.
Especially when using the Dark theme, make sure to use the latest version of Eclipse: currently, Oxygen.1a (4.7.1a)
(For example, see Dark theme improvement of Oxygen.1)
I have eclipse Neon.3 Release(4.6.3) and Ubuntu 16.04 and I use Darkest Dark Theme. Is this normal?
Short answer is "Yes, it's normal" though not pretty. This issue happens with light based themes in GTK (like Ambiance) when the Eclipse window does not have focus.
Those colors come from GTK theme itself and you can see the same issue even without Darkest Dark, like just using the regular Eclipse's Dark theme. Anyway, that issue is known by Darkest Dark devs (I contribute to that project) but can't tell if it's possible to fix.
The easiest workaround is to apply a different GTK theme, like OSX-ARC-Darker or Adwaita. Example: https://gyazo.com/d1bedaf928ff878368e9c02f7a75db60
I'm using Eclipse CDT 4.5.2 with Eclipse Color Theme installed on Windows 7. The problem is that when I use the "Sublime Text 2" theme from Eclipse Color Theme the first item in content assist (Ctrl-Space menu) is unreadable like that. Is there any way I could change specifically that color without changing the overall theme?
Devstyle has Darkest Dark and Deep Black themes which really improve the dark eclipse themes. The default themes are tailored to ensure that all the colors look great. You can get from Eclipse marketplace: https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/darkest-dark-theme-devstyle
Change the color setting in "Window->Preferences->General->Color and Theme->Content Assistant foreground color", then apply it.
seems an uncorrected bug.
still reproducted on eclipse :
Version: 2019-06 (4.12.0)
Build id: 20190614-1200
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=483225
Another potentially helpful setting for a C/C++ project, Window->Preferences->Editors->Text Editors->Annotations. From there I changed C/C++ Occurrences as well as C/C++ Write Occurrences. Changing this to a darker color was a huge improvement.
I'm using Eclipse and I don't like the appearance of the user interface, it's to much white color in the background. I have used Eclipse earlier, and then it was better with not all that white area! I have been looking in the preference, but have not found any places to change the user interface. Is there a theme that could be changed !?
Open your Eclipse Market Place and search for "Eclipse Color Theme",install it.
than go to windows> preferences> appearances> color theme, select your favorite style, and enjoy.

In Eclipse Juno (4.2) it's possible to completely customize the look and feel of Eclipse via CSS, but doing so yourself isn't exactly trivial. You can get the "old" style theme (Indigo) easily via changing a Preference, see this question.
Here are a couple of other related SO questions and answers:

So in eclipse whenever there is an error it's underlined in red, and when you hover over it is displays an annotation with tips on how to fix the error. On my Windows OS it is correct and the background is a tanish color but on Ubuntu the background is black and I want it tanish like Windows. I know there is an annotation area under Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations, but I don't see a section to change background colors. Please help.
Oddly, colors and fonts are very poorly implemented in Eclipse. Quite a number of things are either extremely difficult to figure out or impossible. Looks like this one is impossible to modify. Perhaps there's an OS way to make those changes?
That said, I found an Eclipse plugin, Annotions Ruler Background. It looks like it should do the trick, but was designed for Indigo (3.7) and doesn't seem to work on Juno (4.2). Sigh.
You can install it from the usual way in Eclipse (help->eclipse marketplace->search, etc.). Their website is here.
If you're still on Indigo, give it a try.
I find this page, it works. http://ubuntu-user-tricks.blogspot.tw/2012/09/3-things-to-do-after-installing-eclipse.html
It change the theme tooltip background color, and foreground color if need.
You can install tool gnome-color-chooser or modify the configure directly (default at /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc). If After you modify the theme configure, you need reload theme to use new config.
