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

Unable to remove eclipse darkest dark theme. I tried to install this for latest eclipse oxygen and it got installed successfully, but now I am unable to remove it.
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.
At some point Eclipse has decided to add a load of whitespace when dragging one editor tab to the side of another.
Is it possible to get the old behaviour back in newer versions of Eclipse?
Eclipse 4.4, with nasty whitespace:
Eclipse 3.7, without the pointless whitespace above the tabs:
Update
After #GGrec's suggestion, the white bar is much smaller, but still present. Is this at all avoidable, or is this just the way Eclipse 4.4 is?
That is a workspace metadata bug. You're using your old workspace with the new Eclipse.
You can also notice the ugly black thick line under your workbench actions.
To fix this, go to Preferences -> General -> Appearance. Change your theme, then change it back. Do an Eclipse restart with -clean while you're at it.
Step 1. Uninstall,
Step 2. Clean application data:
For example, In my computer: %userprofile% == C:\Users\vy.vy-pc\
Delete folder: C:\Users\vy.vy-pc\AppData\Roaming\Spring Tool Suite and
C:\Users\vy.vy-pc\AppData\Local\Spring Tool Suite
Step 3. Reinstall your 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:
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!
I'm running Eclipse Europa (3.3). I leave the "Build Automatically" setting, under the Project menu, on all the time. Once in awhile my code isn't compiling, and I puzzle over it and then pull down the Project menu ... lo and behold, it's not set anymore. What gives? Is this a bug, or is there something else I'm doing that could cause it?
Edit: I am running the regular Java developer installation, plus Subversive and its connectors, Jetty Launcher, and I believe no other plugins. Other people at my workplace have had the same problem.
Edit: I am still having this problem once in a blue moon, only now I'm using Eclipse Galileo (3.5) for Windows. I haven't had this problem in Galileo for OS X, neither in Cocoa nor Carbon, but I have not used that for as long.
With Eclipise Mars.1 (4.5.1), Oomph may be the culprit. Eclipse Oomph supports automatically disabling Build Automatically with entries in
On Windows
%USERPROFILE%\.eclipse\org.eclipse.oomph.setup\setups\user.setup
If you want to disable this Oomph behavior try deleting the following setting
"Eclipse->Navigate Menu-> Open Setup menu entry-> Open User menu entry", a Preference Task under "User Preferences -> org.eclipse.core.resources -> description.autobuilding"
I learned about this setting by posting to the Oomph Eclipse Community Forum on Feb 8th, 2016. I posted a question titled "Oomph Defect? Build Automatically Keeps Getting Disabled". Ed Marks replied the same day with details about Oomph's support for managing the Eclipse "Build Automatically" setting.

I don't have eclipse right here to test and make sure but here is an idea.
Is any of the project or even workspace file in SVN ? if they are and they were uploaded with auto build disabled that might explain it
You update and overwrite your settings. This doesn't become apparent until you restart eclipse. this would also explain why other people at your workplace experienc this. it would even explain why some don't : thay are the ones who are careful what they update and don't allow eclipse to overwrite their own settings plus the ones who actually prefer to have autobuild disabled :)
I had the same problem and when I looked at the Source tab under Java Build Path (under the menu Project > Properties ) there were some source directories that didn't exist anymore (marked with a red X). After I deleted them, compilation worked fine and all new .class files are under the bin folder.
Strange. Is there perhaps a plugin installed that turns this off without your knowledge?
Maybe there is some conflicting shortcut. For example, some duplicated shortcut may be toggling it.
I am running 3.4 and I also have this mysterious behavior. I had it in 3.3 as well. I use CVS not SVN. Does not seem to follow a pattern just once in a while it gets switched off and then weird confusing stuff happens until I remember to check it and switch it back on. I am almost to the point where I want to write a plugin to always turn it on when eclipse loads.
When installing Google Plugin for Eclipse, 'Google App Engine for Android' is also installed.
For me, I uninstalled 'Google App Engine for Android', which I didn't need, and solved this problem.
