I am trying to make my Eclipse cooler like IntelliJ's darcular theme. Everything is fine now except the tab's background's color. It's white and I can't see the words clearly.
Just like the picture below.
Oh, I don't know why it can be seen in the screenshot.
But what I want like this:
By TWiStErRob's comment I found where to change it for me, which also had bright tabs when switching to dark theme.
Below the steps how I changed my tabs:
Go in the top menu to window, then preferences.
Then drill down to General > Appearance > colors and fonts
There is a list with multiple background begin, background end options. If you select an option you can use the edit button to change the color.
Default you only get the basic colors. By clicking the *Define Custom Colors >>** button you can use a color picker or the hex/hsl editor fields to enter your own preferred colors. I changed them all (all the background begin/background end options) from their bright colors to darker colors.
The end result.
Thanks to TWiStErRob for giving the pointer where to find the setting.

The question is - how do I change color of scrollbar in VSCode?
I want to change my scrollbar to the color of my VSCode background. Available scrollbar settings in workbench.colorCustomizations don't change it the way I want (all I could find is scrollBarSlider and scrollbar.shadow settings), and I know there's a way to change it cause it is different in other themes (it's the same color as the background in those themes, as it should be)
How my scrollbar looks right now
(Added an arrow juuuuuust incase)
Thanks a lot!
In your settings.json:
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"editorOverviewRuler.background": "#ff0000", // for the "track" where the scrollThumb lives
"scrollbarSlider.background": "#9aa", // for the scrollThumb color
}
For others, see theme color reference: scrollbars and editorOverViewRuler in the same link.
Do note that there are other indicators that also live in the editorOverviewRuler, like selection indicators, find match indicators and more, which have to play nice with the color as well.
I was using STS and decided to give it a try to the dark theme, but the color of the tooltip window, was black and the font also black hence impossible to read, so I restored the appearance to the default settings hoping that the tooltip window color would change as well but it didn't. I haven't found a way to customize the colors of it. Does anyone knows how to do that? Thanks in advance.

I'm using Retta color theme in eclipse. The problem is when I hover with the mouse over the warning or error symbols, it gives me a white background and I can't see a thing.
Highlighted text
Where I can change that? I've already tried going to General>Editors>Text Editors>Annotations, but changing the options there didn't solve the problem (like making Text as Underline and so on). The problem only occurs when I hover the mouse over the warning/error symbol.
First you should over the word with the highlighted background and then proceed to right click, then go to Preferences > Appearance color options
Then you should be able to adjust the colors to your liking.
I was wondering if there is a option or plugin, which allows us on hover to preview either a CSS color or image, something like this:
And also if you hover over an img src - preview the img... ?
Try "Quick Color Picker for Notepad++". You double-click on the hex color and a color-picker pops up as well as a preview. Another cool thing is that it provides a few more colors that match the "theme" if you will.
Here is the link Quick Color Picker
SIDE NOTE: There used to be a feature or plugin, until very recently, that actually highlighted the text of the hex code with its color. It came out of nowhere after an N++ update and then it disappeared after another one. Can't figure out how to enable it again.
HTML color is the closest thing I have seen when it comes to color preview. With it installed you select the color code and click a button to show the preview. From the preview you can change the color by a few clicks. It can also be used to insert new color codes.
Image preview I have never seen.
I've been trying to change the background color for the 'quick-fixes' pop-up (the pop up that lists ways to fix an error) in eclipse juno. Currently the color is black and the text is blue which makes it very hard to read.
I cant find the correct way to change the color. Please help. Its really annoying to squint and have to read blue text on a black background.
This was driving me nuts as well, here is the fix.
Go to preferences.
Search for "Annotations"
for each Annotation Type:
if "Text as" == "Highlighted" and Color == black:
Set the color to light or uncheck "Text As"
In this screen shot, I am fixing Occurrences.
The problem I show to the left is the "Matching Tags" annotation which had the same problem.
You can change the color of the text in the pop-up.
In windows you can go Control Panel, search for colors and metrics and then select Change window colors and metrics. In the item menu select Hyperlinks and change the Color.
EDIT: This fix is valid for Windows 7. Windows 10 does not have the option to change Hyperlinks color.
Right Click anywhere in the Editor Window, and at the bottom of the context menu select Preferences. This will bring you into Java -> Editor. At the bottom ofthat window select the element colors you wish to change, in your case Parameter hints background and Parameter hints background or Completion overview background and Completion overview foreground, depending on which one it is you are having a problem with.
From what I found, I do not think you can change the color. I am not willing to go to Eclipse source code and find it but here's what fixed it for me. Not perfectly but to a level I can use the quick fix. In my case, the background and foreground was same. (Luna, Dark Theme, Using Solarized Editor Theme).
Go into the Preferences (Window -> Preferences)
Choose General -> Appearance from the left menu
Uncheck the checkbox Use mixed fonts and colours for labels
