Change appearance of .txt file editor in eclipse - eclipse

I am using a dark theme for eclipse. When I open a file with .txt extension, the color of the text is black, as well as the background. How can I change the appearence of this .txt file editor? I want to set the text color to white. I am confused by the preferences menu.

I have found it. In the preferences Menu select
General>Appearance>Editors>TextEditors in the Box named Appearance color options
select the item Foreground color,
unmark the checkbox System Default and change the color to the desired color.

How to apply background color only for java files in eclipse?

In Eclipse I'm able to change backgroud color, from white to blue, to all text editors from:
Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Background color
But, I would change background color only for java text editors.
So for example, if I open an .xml file, background color should be white (default), instead, if I open a .java file, background color should be blue.

How to change highlight color of selection in search tab in Eclipse?

In Eclipse 4.2 on Windows 7, in the search results tab, the selected search result has an unpleasant light color that makes it hard to read the text under it:
I have not been able to locate where this color is. Any ideas?
Try changing your Themes & Appearance settings.
Go to Windows > Preferences > General > Appearance
You will get options for Color themes, and label decorations.
you can download more themes from eclipse theme plugin
Its operating system's default selection color, you cannot change that thro' eclipse. Although if you select a light color theme, you will get black or dark color text and you will be able to see the text more clearly over this light blue background. or you can manually choose dark shades of colors for text.

Changing Text Highlighting Color in Matlab Editor

Is there any way to change the text highlighting color in the Matlab Editor from bright blue with white text to something easier on the eye, perhaps programatically (or in the matlab.prf file)? I found the editor color and syntax highlighting preferences, however there isn't an option to set text highlighting.
This is not set directly by MATLAB, but inherited from the operating system.
In Windows 7, running a "Basic" theme, it would be under:
Control Panel → Appearance and Personalization → Personalization → Window Color (icon at bottom)
In the dropdown list, choose Item: Selected Items, and from there you can pick highlight color and font color.
Note: you shouldn't need to restart the computer, but you may need to restart MATLAB to see the change.
