I can read the completion tips apart from the links following "See also".
Can anyone tell me how to change this colour alone?
#azurefrog Your link to change the background color provided a workaround solution, which is to select the relevant text or change the background colour permanently, thus altering the colour contrast between the font and the background and thereby making the text readable. Its a shame that Eclipse proggies don't apparently monitor stackoverflow as I'm sure they could finger the solution immediately.

Hi I'm currently using STM's CubeMX to do some programming of my STM32 in C/C++.
I have also downloaded from marketplace the darkest dark theme (I selected darkest gray).
I immediately noticed that when I enter ctrl+space for the content assist/template proposal, I am hardly able to see which line of the proposal is highlighted. Do see the below image to understand what I mean.
I would like to change the BACKGROUND of the highlighted line/proposal (not the TEXT colour of the highlighted line) but to no avail.
I have gone through a few other posts in the past similar to this, but it does not refer to my specific situation.
I also noticed that if I were to mouse over (but it is much more inefficient), a slightly more distinguishable background colour could be seen.
Could someone advice how I can resolve this please?
Thanks

A light theme does not play as nice with syntax highlighting, as does a dark theme. Most programmers prefer a dark theme, which works best for the eyes, when you have to look so many hours to the screen every day. At least it does so for me.
To adjust "Completion proposal foreground" and "Completion proposal background"
in STM32CubeIDE, got to "Preferences" > "C/C++" > "Editor". Here you will find the settins under "Appearance color options".
I used:
Background 29, 29, 29
Foreground 156, 220, 254
I want to change the background of a specific scope (code.block) in VSCode as I do with sublime. sublimetext
Block comment has different background, hence it is easier to notice.
Although I made necessary modifications to relevant json file, and foreground colors displayed correctly, backgroundcolor is always overriden by the background of editor. the background field (ff0000 marked with red) changes correctly but the displayed background field (1d1a18 marked with green) is the background of the editor.
VSCode
I use meterial dark soda theme.
Anyone knows how to disable this setting.
You can't. Here's the issue tracking: #3429.
I am very happy when using vscode and i love the High Contrast color theme but I don't like its border (the blue border that i marked with red in the screenshot below). I have searched in the theme-default folder but i can't change it. Does anyone know how to change it?
Screenshot
I work on VSCode. This cannot be changed currently without editing our bundled UI css, which I recommend against.
Support for theming UI elements like this is being tracked by https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/3112
If you feel this color should be changed, please open a new issue or submit a PR with the proposed fix. There seem to be multiple places where the boarder color is defined. Look for css files the use #6FC3DF for border-color. .hc-black is the high contrast selector
I've dug through every damn color setting under Tools> Options. Went through every Fonts & Color, Editor, PHP etc and I'll be damned if I can figure out how to change the background row highlighting for when you have an error. I've been able to change ever other color to fit my personal preference cept this one. Here's a screen shot of the problem:
I would like to change the background red to a dark red so the text is easier to ready.
Using Netbeans 7.4
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Edit: Per Ben's point, here's the current options and the code behind the panel to show it's not working:
Final update, here's the end result which is close enough:
By looking at your screenshots (correct me if I am wrong) I can see that you have set your current row highlighting to red:
Tools-> Options-> Fonts&Colors-> Highlighting(Tab)-> Highlight Caret Row
As far as I know you can't set different background highlighting options for errors. So what you can do is set the formatting options for errors:
Font: No need to explain this.
Foreground: This is the text color if you change this it will disregard all other formatting options that you may have set, so lets leave it as is.
Background: This is what you want to change so that text don't get lost in the formatting. If you scroll to the bottom you can also set custom colors.
Effects: Irrelevant
Effect Color: Disabled if effects is None and only applies to the effect.
As you can see I set mine to yellow just as an example.
As you can see in this screen shot my background highlighting is light grey as well as my string formatting. So it is impossible to read, but by changing the error formatting this is the result:
Alternatively you can just select another background highlighting color that suits your formatting better.
Try Fonts&Colors->Syntax->Error
You can also try setting the Annotations color for "Error", mine was set to a specific color (after importing a theme) instead of 'Inherited', making text unreadable in a similar way.
This was really annoying for me too and most answers didn't help. I think that I have figured it out.
In netbeans 12 you need to change two things.
Tools->Options->Fonts&Colors->Syntax->Java->Error->change background color. This will only change the background of the code in error and not the red background of the rest of the lines white space.
To fix the red on the whitespace.
Tools->Options->Fonts&Colors->Annotations->Error(the one with the exclamation point)->change background color
I selected inherited to have no whitespace highlighting.

Recently after scorching my retinas from the garish white background in Eclipse, I found some of the excellent posts about how to change the colors so it uses sane (i.e. dark background) colors in the editor. However, one problem present in all solutions is that background of the column with the expanders for code folding is always white. Is there a way to change the background of that column?
I'm not the only person that has this problem, as shown in the screenshots for the following questions:
Dark Color Scheme for Eclipse
Color Themes for Eclipse (application of color schemes results in this issue on a Mac, no idea about PC)
I know that the problem is not language specific as it happens in Java, Python, HTML, and everything else. Any hints on where in the pages of preferences this setting is?
This is related to Eclipse Bug 62712 which is fixed in build 20090329-2000 almost a year ago. In my Galileo of build 20090920-1017 it just works when I change the background color through General > Editors > Text Editors. Here's a screen (don't pay attention to the ugly color combo, my bg defaults to white and I just picked random yellow to demonstrate that the ruler background get changed as well):
In other words, just upgrade your Eclipse to include this bugfix. Did you check Help > Check for Updates?
