Eclipse IDE for (Embedded C/C++) Developers 2020-12: Classic dark theme deep black color background and text in menu

Problem with dark classic theme in Eclipse 2020-12 (4.18) for C/C++. Menu have all black color:
Top panel has the same problem:
That's a bug of Eclipse TMF which is contained by default in the
Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers and the
Eclipse IDE for Embedded C/C++ Developers
in Eclipse 2020-12 (4.18) that has already been fixed:
Eclipse bug 569790 - [dark] Dark mode issue when Trace Compass is installed
Unfortunately, this bug was detected and fixed only shortly after the 2020-12 release. So I created the following (unofficial) update site that can be used to get the patched Eclipse TMF (via Help > Install New Software...):
https://howlger.github.io/Dark-Theme-Fix-for-Eclipse-2020-12-with-TMF/update
Update: the official update site has been published in the meantime:
https://download.eclipse.org/tracecompass/stable/repository/
Alternatively, you can use another dark theme instead of the built-in dark theme, such as one of the following (do not use the Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle since it might slow down Eclipse and can cause issues):
Eclipse Spectrum Dark Theme
Planet Themes
Please note, a dark theme is a bit more stressful for your eyes compared to a light theme (the human eye can adapt well to dark, but works best with more light).

Can't Install eclipse theme

I have recently switched Eclipse workbench and installed again the MoonRise UI Theme for my Eclipse.
Unfortunately I don't know why font colors don't change. Can anyone help me?

How it should be:
How it is:
I hope you would have got the answer by now.
To get the fonts one must change the preference. There is an existing preference available by name RainbowDrops.epf. You can import the same to get a dark theme look.
A complete tutorial along with the RainbowDrops.epf file is available in the below link.

SpringSource Tool Suite Change Themes

When I became aware of Sublime, I noticed the benefits of dark themes to your workspace. But since Sublime doesn't have support for Grails at the moment, I search for ways to theme STS or SpringSource Tool Suite and I reached to this article. I tried the plugin and it worked well. Unfortunately, only the Editor area was change by the plugin.
The question is how I change the Color and Fonts of the whole STS or Eclipse?
Go to Windows->Preferences->General->Appearance->Select the theme you want.
download the plugin here : http://eclipsecolorthemes.org/?view=plugin
If you are on Eclipse 3.6 (Helios), the easiest way to install the plugin is from the Eclipse Marketplace. Go to Help→Eclipse Marketplace..., then search for Eclipse Color Theme and install it.
If you are on Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo), go to Help→Install New Software..., press Add Site and enter Eclipse Color Theme as the name and http://eclipse-color-theme.github.com/update as the URL. Then select the new entry from the select box labeled Work with, mark Eclipse Color Theme for installation and proceed.
Please note: If you are using a version of the plugin lower than 0.6, please uninstall and reinstall it following the instructions above. Update site and plugin ID have changed.
Usage
After the installation, go to Window→Preferences→General→Appereance→Color Theme to change the color theme.
If you use the current STS milestone (STS 3.0.0), then it is possible, because the underlying Eclipse 4 is now completely themeable. There are already some themes available, however you should consider them beta.
Here is a place to pick a color theme for your editing window:
http://eclipsecolorthemes.org/
1. Changing theme of Spring Tool Suite without downloading any plugin.
(For using Darkest Dark Theme see option 2)
First, go to
Window > Preferences
Then in Preferences dialog go to
General > Appearance
after that select *Dark in the dropdown for Theme, after that click on Apply, then on Apply and Close
Then restart STS once so your STS will look like this
2. Changing theme of Spring Tool Suite by downloading Darkest Dark plugin.
First go to
Help > Eclipse Marketplace...
Then in Eclipse Marketplace dialog search for Darkest Dark and then click on Go.
After that from the search results install the plugin named Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle
After that with default options selected click on Confirm
Then accept the license and click on Finish
Then let the software install
After installation completes click on Restart in the pop up
Then in the welcome screen click on Next
After that select Darkest Dark Theme and click on Next
Then let the STS launch with Darkest Dark Theme
Then click on Continue in the Tweak the Workbench dialog
Then your STS will look like this
You can go to Marketplace Eclipse and search for Darkest Dark Theme. As the name says a pretty cool dark theme.

Eclipse console turned into black background after installing aptana plugin

I have installed in my eclipse (3.7.1) that i use for Java(JDT) development, aptana plugin because i'm working on some web project sometimes, now my console view have black background also when i'm in Java perspective ...
Why ?
How can i restore the default withe background of the console when i'm in Java perspective ? How can i do ?
As you can see from the screenshot above the name of the console now is : "Aptana Scripting Console" , Why ?
The strange thing is that when i run the application in debug mode the console turn automatically with the default white background, and when i remove the debug instance the console turn black background again ...
Can i change the background color of a view for a specific perspective ?
Update
Switching to Eclipse theme from Preferences > Aptana Studio > Themes i had my Console view white again, but remain the fact that the console is named "Aptana Scripting Console",
seems that aptana override the default eclipse console .
If i try to open the standard JDT Console, i can't because i don't have it in the list, the console appear only when i start debug my application :
Maybe could be a bug of the plugin, or an incompatibility of eclipse with the plugin ...
You could change the theme from Preferences > Aptana Studio > Themes. The default is Aptana Studio, which has the black background, and you could switch to Eclipse.
You could also disable Enable Invasive Themes from the same preferences page to just turn off Aptana theming on Eclipse views.
On the right side there shall be a monitor-like icon with a down-arrow. Check if you have the standard console in that drop-down list.
I don't know about Aptana, but CDT had a similar issue a while back caused by a race condition when accessing the preference store. Maybe Aptana has fallen in the same trap?
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=270326
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=214215
The workaround for CDT was to manually reset the console background color, but since I don't have Aptana, I can't help you any further.
