Themeing Eclipse Indigo - eclipse

I have tried using Eclipse E4 on Eclipse 4.2 (Juno) and it worked well. I have tried using Dark Theme provided by Github on this link but only missed darkening minimized views and also the menubar. Also, I've tried using Eclipse Color Theme to provide a Sublime Text look on my editors. But that is not the real question.
Though Eclipse 4.2 (Juno) supports themeing, is there a way we could install a software similar to Eclipse E4 on Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo)? (With the exception of Eclipse Color Theme)

For me this plugin is great:
https://github.com/jeeeyul/eclipse-themes (for eclipse 4.2+)
After install go to Pereferences → General → Appearance and Choose Jeeeyul's Themes in the Pulldown.
Then go to Pereferences → General → Appearance → Chrome Theme and adjust for your needs.
In the upper right corner of this Panel, you can also coose " Presets", but there are no nice one for dark-Theme, so i had made my own.
There seems no import and export, but if you want to try my, copy this file to
./configuration/net.jeeeyul.eclipse.themes/user-presets.xml
And Choose it as dev_pool in 'User's presets'
File: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60080800/user-presets.xml
It looks like this:

No JavaScript syntax highlighting in Eclipse 2020-09

I just upgraded to Eclipse 2020-09 (4.17.0) from Eclipse Luna. After installing, I installed Eclipse Web Developer Tools 3.19 from the Marketplace, then restarted Eclipse. When I open a .js file, there is no syntax highlighting. It was fine out of the box with Luna, so is there anything extra that I need to configure in 2020-09? File associations for *.js shows this:
It seems JavaScript files (*.js) have been associated with the plain text editor instead of the Generic Text Editor by mistake (please make sure it has been reported to Eclipse).
Right-click the file and choose Open With > Generic Text Editor.
Or better, associate all *.js files with the Generic Text Editor by right-click a *.js file, choose Open With > Other..., select the Generic Text Editor in the list and tick the Use it for all '.js' files* checkbox at the bottom (as shown in my video here).
Yes, you need to install the Wild Web Developer feature so that it provides that functionality through the Generic Text Editor.

How to remove eclipse darkest dark theme?

How to remove a theme from eclipse?
Thanks in Advance.
Goto Help -> Eclipse Market Place
A child window will open showing available plugins in Eclipse Market Place.
Above we will find a tab named "Installed"
Go to 'Installed' tab. It will show the list of installed or associated plugins with current copy of eclipse.
Against 'darkest dark theme' (beside installed button) we will find a drop down where we get option to uninstall.
Just navigate to Preferences > General > Appearance. Choose "Classic" for "Theme" and hit "Apply and Close". You may have to restart eclipse.
Eclipse, reset Appearance:
Preferences > General > Appearance, Just Restore defaults and apply/close.
If still no change then do the same thing to child options under Appearance one by one.
It was the WebClipse CI 9 update (dated 201711281859) which automatically replaced the default Eclipse Classic theme preferences and startup dialog with the Dark theme, without asking, and without giving the user an option to disable it or put it back the way it was.

Dark background of tabs in Eclipse

I am using standalone Eclipse BIRT Designer Version 2.6.1. No matter what I try to configure in setting, there is still very dark background of all tabs in property editor (see screenshot below).
I even tried gnome-color-chooser and enabled everything I could and set red color. This changed almost everything, but tabs remained with dark grey background. Also tried to change Ubuntu theme from Ambience to Radience.
It is quite difficult to work like this. Has anyone seen this? How can I fix it?

You can use GTK themes. For Gnome 3 Flashback I use clearlooks, but you can use GnomishDark for dark colors.
To make Eclipse using it, create script with name like eclisec.sh with following command:
GTK2_RC_FILES=$HOME/.themes/<your-theme-gtkrc-file> exec ./eclipse
and place your theme to $HOME/.themes/.
You can see my eclipse with GnomishDark theme here.
Also take a look at this article.
Out of the box BIRT uses grey for the tabs in property editor, most of the tab and back ground themes are controlled by the settings for computer. I see your top bar (file, edit, etc) is black so presumably you have played with things a lot.
I use a different back ground color as as my only customization, with windows default for all the other setting. I tried altering some of the computer (my BIRT is actually on a server) settings and the tabs in property editor remained grey.
The solution for your problem would be to undue whatever you did to make them black, that may mean restoring to default settings. I am not sure if there is a "restore defaults" function, I looked and did not see one.

Old Style Tabs In Eclipse Juno?

any way I can bring back the tab style of indigo? I don't like the new white and block tabs!
Windows -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Theme. Select "Classic".
Afterwards restart once, as some changes cannot be applied immediately.
For those who wish to move to using the Eclipse Indigo looks, a version prior, simply, rename the folder,
plugins\org.eclipse.platform_4.2.0.v201206081400\css
to something like,
plugins\org.eclipse.platform_4.2.0.v201206081400\css.old
And you are done! Launch your eclipse and enjoy the old theme.
Note:
Make sure Eclipse is not-running when making this change.
In Eclipse juno SR1 the folder is org.eclipse.platform_4.2.1.v201209141800

Eclipse Theme Issue

The Eclipse theme only seams to apply on the editor’s window and set area like Project Browser , Outline, Task windows etc seems unchanged. I have downloaded the themes form the Eclipse Market place but it has no effect. Is that the way it suppose to work or something is wrong with my Eclipse on installation.
I have manage to change the Java doc and Declaration Windows manually form the
Windows ->Presences -> Color and Fonts
Plus I have tried putting pref files in the workspace as suggested by Eric in his blog :-
http://blog.edwards-research.com/2009/10/color-schemes-for-eclipse-cdt/
and Theme generator
"blog.edwards-research.com/files/eclipse-gen/#"
My present Eclipse looks like :- http://www.flickr.com/photos/deamonm/7101439563/
I wonder how did Aptana studio manage to change in the Eclipse plugin
I think there is no way to change those part of eclipse except the editor window. You can download lots of theme from Eclipse Theme. Also note that there is a plug-in available,here . It comes preloaded with many themes. After installing, Go to **Window->preference->search for theme and choose from variety of themes.
You can use Aptana plugin for Eclipse to change almost all the panels' view:
Follow the link [Download Aptana Studio], choose "Eclipse Plug-in Version", then click on Download button. You'll be redirected to Installation page. Follow that installation guide.
In Eclipse menu select Preferences > Aptana Studio > Themes
Choose any theme that fits you the best (this will change editor view only).
Click on 3 check boxes below: Apply to all (non-Studio) views, Apply to all (non-Studio) editors, Apply editor font to views.
Click Apply or OK button.
And voila! Theme is applied globally.
UPDATE.
Unfortunately, this solutions doesn't work for ALL the panels. Some Perspectives cannot be modified by those actions.
http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-moonrise-ui-theme
go to this link
and follow instructions carefully!
*****Install the plugin;
Restart Eclipse and go to Window > Preferences > General > Appearance;
Select MoonRise (standalone) or, for a little better tabs decoration, install Eclipse 4 Chrome Theme from marketplace or from here and select MoonRise;*****
this must change your Project Browser , Outline, Task windows etc.
cheers!
