I've changed my Eclipse Kepler (SR2) theme to Moonrise 0.8.9
Now the color of the highlighted objects makes the results barely visible.
I haven't found any option to modify either the color of the text, or the color of the background
I've attached the Search view
To change the highlighted row search result go to:
Window > Preferences > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts > Basic
and change the Match highlight background color.
Note: This will not change the color of the other search results that are in purple
C/C++ > Build > Makefile Editor > Matching brackets highlight

CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)
Eclipse Version: 2020-06 (4.16.0) Build id: 20200615-1200
When I use the dialog box invoked by Ctrl F ( command: Find and Replace ) I get the search results highlighted in a faint yellow.
This makes it very hard for me to see the result.
I dutifully went to Google and found that the highlighted search result color can be changed by going to:
Window > Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations > Search Results
Interestingly, when I got there the highlight color was not yellow. It was a light blue.
Still, I changed the color to red,hit apply, apply and close, and restarted Eclipse.
No change.
Any ideas what I can to get that color to change?
You mean the Selection background color that can be changed in Window > Preferences: General > Editors > Text Editors:
Im using Eclipse to code. There is some problem with it which can be seen on this picture.
Is there anyway to remove the backcolor or simply change it to white? Because it is hurting my eyes. Thanks!
To change the background color for occurrences:
Select Window > Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations
Select occurrences (org.eclipse...) from the list of Annotation types. There are two, but it doesn't matter which one you select since they both get updated.
Click the rectangle containing the current color and pick another color (or customize your own) in the Color dialog.
Click the Apply and close button.
Done! If you want to see the new color for a file that is already open in the editor it seems that you have to reopen it.
UPDATE (3/30/18)
My original answer above is wrong. Based on feedback from the OP in the comments below I have updated and corrected this answer to show how to change the background color for Warnings rather than Occurrences:
To change the background color for Warnings:
Select Window > Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations
Select Warnings from the list of Annotation types.
Click the rectangle containing the current color and pick another color (or customize your own) in the Color dialog.
Click the Apply and close button.
The screen shot above was taken on Eclipse Oxygen.3 Release (4.7.3), and obviously your list of Annotation types may differ from those in the screen shot.
It's the color that the background of a word or variable that highlights it's occurrences in the rest of the code. This is what my editor looks like. Editor
I've customized it a little bit but whenever I'm typing on something the white background is jarring and makes it hard to read. How do I change it to a darker color?
Go to Eclipse > Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors;
And change the value on the "Selection Background color"
I am using Pydev / Eclipse with dark theme.
how can I change the selection color? Here's an screenshot showing a part that is selected and is highlighted with a color that is too bright and makes the foreground not readable:
I followed settings of appearance color options in General > Editors > Text Editors as well as General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations, but I couldn't find any option for changing that bright blueish color.
Here's an image showing my current setting (as you can see, the background selection color is set as a color that is totally different from this light blue color).
You have to restart your Eclipse first to see that 'selection background color' changed for python files.
The best answer to this is found here, Which inherits from General > Editors > Text Editors. There is also General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations, which is where I found "Breakpoints (PyDev) which had the color I was finding offensive to my eyes.
Happy Hunting!
Short answer:
Preferences > PyDev > Editor.
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.
