I'm using VS 2015 and I just put Metro controls in my Winform project. The problem I'm having is that I can't change the background color of any Metro control in the tool box. Maybe it's by design?
Any ideas?
thanks
Ok... so I'm dumb :) All I had to do was set "UseCustomBackColor" to TRUE. Then I could change the background color. I'm just telling this in case someone is just getting started like me :)

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".

With the introduction of workbench.experimental.colorCustomizations, how do I change the background colour of the minimap? Or has that option not been added yet?
Found out it's not related, and is in fact controlled by the syntax theme.
... is there a way to change the color of the library name shown next to suggestion when using javascript auto completion? For instance right now I'll have something like : 'css jQuery(jquery-1.6.js)' and jQuery(jquery-1.6.js) is displayed in light gray on light green-ish background. Is there a way to change that to a different font/color for the lib name?
Thanks
It's not possible right now. Submitting request would help to get it implemented in the future.
In eclipse JDE, when I move my mouse over a Java element, a pop up will show up an with 'Press F2 for focus'. My question is how can I configure the background color of that popup? I have gone to 'Color and Font' in the preference. I have tried all the ones with 'black' background, but i still can't change the color.
I am using eclipse 3.7M7 on ubuntu 11.04.
Can u please tell me how can I change the color ?

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.
