As you can see the tip select is unreadable becase the font color is the same as the background color of the select field. I have no idea how to fix it. I found here the resolution for Linux only :( [Im using the windows 7]. I tried to reinstall the eclipse etc but nothing helped me.
Can someone tell me how fix it?
Whats more everything is good i mean readable when im using the white [classic] theme but i really prefer the dark theme i think its better for my eyes.
Thanks for help.
I founded that changing the composition from Windows setting may help me. But what is it possible to change only the one atribute [font or highlight color] without changing the whole composition? :/

Actually I don't know when it existed, but recently after changing some themes, the editing area has a strange light color block.
It's neither a blank string nor a blank line break, it 'jumps' with the area you're editing. This is quite annoying and I have not been able to find a real answer to this problem.
In some cases, changing the theme occasionally helps, but it mostly doesn't work, and I don't think that's a good idea because those light blocks are always stubbornly present, can anyone help?
P.S I hope I can express the problem precisely enough, I'm attaching a screenshot to point out the so-called 'light blocks'.
Thanks for any help!
After some time of research, I have to think that this seems to be the only solution for now. Originally I used developer tools in an attempt to change the CSS, but decided that was an illegal hacking solution, and I thought the app could be overwritten if I updated it, so I abandoned that idea.
Now I found a possible solution.
Go into settings, search for: #id:workbench.colorCustomizations workbench
Note: You must choose to also modify on User, otherwise it will only work on the current window workspace.
After entering setting.json, look for Workbench: Color Customizations and add editor.background to workbench.colorCustomizations, example:
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"editor.background": "#19485964"
},
The most important point is that transparency must be set! As long as editor.background is set to a certain level of transparency, then the "strange light color blocks" will disappear.
Although I'm not sure if this is a real solution, it can solve the problem to some extent, and no failure has been found yet, so I assume this is "barely a solution" for now.
If there is a better answer, I would welcome any additional information, thank you.
I am having difficulty getting the Content assist colors right. With auto-completion, the first suggestion is always light color on light color. Here is what it looked like originally (Dracula Theme):
Changing the values of Content Assist Background/Foreground colors did not have any affect on the top suggestion. Here is a screenshot from after swapping the Content Assist Foreground and Background colors (Darkest Dark theme):
I have tried swapping every other practical color setting in Window->Preferences->General->Appearance->Colors and Fonts with no luck. The color scheme in the first image above is the popular Dracula theme that I manually set up setting by setting. Thinking I screwed something up in there, I scrapped all that work and switched to the Eclipse DevStyle theme Darkest Dark. Here, I was met with the same issue. After this, I switched everything to default settings where the color scheme is black font on white background. Everything is readable. Switching back to the Darkest Dark, the issue remains.
I have found similar questions regarding this, but their solutions are mostly for Linux (GTK specifically). This machine I am using is on Windows 7. I also have a laptop that runs DBeaver on Arch Linux and does not suffer from this problem. It seems this issue may be system dependent. I found one answer that suggested changing the message box settings for Windows may fix this, but my message box settings are currently black text on white background. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Most of the SWT widgets relay on the OS level theme. For example, it's known that using the Windows Classic theme at the OS level can cause oddities like this one. So just switching to a different theme can fix this issue.
maybe you have found the solution, just in case anyone is still searching...
we can change the color of "content assist", you can find in "Colors and fonts".

Can anyone help me figure out why code colors seems to be off? Doesnt matter what theme I am using, my element tags are always the same color as the text that might be in it.
I tried a reinstall and that didnt change anything.
Thank you
example of my issue (in the nav)
Not sure what the cause is but I fixed it by following the instructions on this page. Seems to have normalized everything by doing a complete reinstall
Complete uninstall of vscode
So how would I go about customizing the welcome screen? I know about initial-buffer-choice, but I'd like to customize the original one as a part of theme (I'm working on a Tron theme, and wanted to have all bits of it perfect!).
I don't want to change the text, but I have an alternative design for the logo :) It's not really a replacement, and I'm not going to put a different logo instead, it's just a minor remake to go with the color theme.
EDIT: below is what I've got so far :)
And the larger image:
EDIT
Sorry for making you wait. Here we go: https://code.google.com/p/tron-theme-emacs/ If you find a language mode where the theme misbehaves, I will try to fix it. I think I tried it once on a text terminal, rather than X-window Emacs, but I don't remember how it was. So, that may be a problem. Also, some modes may come with their own faces. I tried to set some (like ECB), but these may not be complete / I'm not aware of all the possible faces. But, again, request for improvements are welcome.
To change splash image, set fancy-splash-image.
To change text and color, set fancy-startup-text and fancy-about-text.
The line that is highlighted on Eclipse is really hard for me to see. I am color blind, but I can see colors. I assume the the highlight color in the outline screen has very little contrast to the other colors. Thank you!
Anyway I will try and attach a graphic.... anyone know to change this?
I think I have something usable enough to post as an answer. You didn't specify the OS that you're using but from the screenshot it looked like Windows 7/Vista with the Aero theme. Like I mentioned in my comment to your question, from this and this, it looks like there isn't any [straightforward] way to change the highlight color.
However, if you don't mind losing the Aero effects, you can switch to the Windows Classic theme to get a different highlighting that IMO provides more contrast and better readability.
