Can anyone tell me how to make a Label or TextField with two gradient color in LWUIT?
Why don't you try to use the LWUIT Resource Editor? In this program you can customize every Components's style that you want. It has an special option for do what you want. In codenameone, you can find a similar editor (is better than LWUIT editor).
For the LWUIT editor go here http://lwuit.java.net/

Is there a way to change the color of the grids in eclipse?
I am using the built-in 'Dark' theme, and the grid lines are too bright for me, they mess with my vision, I have some visual snow.
I think that is based on the "Window Color and Appearance" (that's the given name if you are under windows) of your desktop personalization just like the top bar maximize/minimize/close.
So you can always go there and change it in "3D objects", but be aware that this change will affect your whole desktop/windows visuals.
Altho, that beeing said, I know that there are ways tweak it around. This could give you a hand: http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-4-chrome-theme#.UYrzEkAW1J0
Also a tool called css spy will help you find what you want to edit faster: http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-4-tools-css-spy#.UYrzSkAW1J0
i am working on a website which involves a lot of colors and their combinations. but during page designing in eclipse whenever i write color attribute inside the style tag or in a css file, i get limited color list, can i get custom color dialog box or hexadecimal values with small preview of colors, that would be helpful during page designing as it would save a lot of time.
Note: recently i have set preferences of colors and fonts for java editor, and i believe this has nothing to do with it.
thanks.
I'm trying to change the editor tab color depending of the file path.
Because I'm working on an mvc infrastructure, and well, we often get the same file name in 3 different folders.
(Liste is french for List)
And well I was wondering if it is possible to change the tab color? I did not find what I wanted on Google + Eclipse API, So here I am, posting.
Anyway, help on this would be really appreciated!
Thank you!
I don't think that's possible, because there is no way to change the color of CTabItem. You can however change the font of the CTabItem or the icon. You need to create custom MultiPageEditorPart and override the addPage() methods and handle the creation of CTabItems
In my Eclipse installation, the selected entry in the content assist menu is almost unreadable because the colour is white on white-greyish. See image below.
I can change the background and text colour of the non-selected entries in the list from eclipse preferences, but the selected entry is always the same colour and is always unreadable. I use the Eclipse Color Theme RecognEyes, but that should only affect the editor as far as I understand.
How do I make the text of the selected entry in the context assist menu readable?
Update
After reading m1shk4's answer it does indeed seem that Eclipse takes it's colours from the current gnome theme. However it does this in a kind of weird way.
The background colour of the content assist "window" is the input boxes background colour, and the text colour is the input boxes text colour. This all seems logical.
However the background colour of the selected entry is the windows background colour, but the text of the selected entry is not the background text colour.
See image below for an illustration.
Does anybody know how to fix or workaround this issue?
Working workaround
It seems this issue is rather specific with the default gnome theme in Ubuntu. Switching to another gnome theme solves the issue for me.
Not sure if it's still in time but this might help all of you who are having the same problem, as I had:
Create a file ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and add this content to the file:
style "eclipse_fix"
{
base[ACTIVE] = shade(0.7, "#4283d3")
}
class "GtkTreeView" style "eclipse_fix"
Then just set Unity a new theme (in Configuration > appearance) and set again to the previous theme (Ambiance for instance). That will read the new file created above and the new color will take effect in eclipse.
I'm on Eclipse Neon and using Eclipse Color Themes.
I've solved this issue by:
Window-> Preferences-> General-> Appearance:
->Uncheck "Use mixed fonts and colors for labels."
Windows > Preference > General > Appearance > Color and Fonts
Basic > Content Assist background color, Content Assist foreground color:
and voilà!
Update
Interface is in Russian, but I think it's clear that colors, you're looking for, correspond to Selected Items entry. On my screenshot its light-blue for background and black for foreground.
If you are on Ubuntu / Unity, go ahead and install and start gnome-color-chooser.
Global Colors -> Default Configuration, Entry Fields -> selected and change fg and bg colors according to your needs.
I have the same issue on Windows 7. I found that text color(unselected text) of the content assist box can be changed under:
Desktop->Personalize->Window Color->Advanced Appearance Settings->Item->MessageBox
The only problem is one cannot set the background color for the MessageBox. -> any help from someone else?
At least this way you can read something...
NOTE: Be warned that a lot of other applications may depend on the messageBox color!
I was able to fix this in Ubuntu 12.04 by editing a file in the theme (I use Radiance):
sudo vi /usr/share/themes/Radiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
At the top is a key "gtk-color-scheme" with a bunch of color variables that are used later in the file. I make these changes: tooltip_fg_color:#000000 selected_fg_color:#000000 tooltip_bg_color:#f5f5b5
After making the changes, change your theme to something else then back, and most everything looks better! I did have to restart eclipse to get the fonts in the borders of the window to update.
Note that unfortunately these changes get overwritten sometimes during updates. There may be a way to use ~/.gtkrc-2.0 to do the same thing, I just don't know anything about that file.
I'm using Eclipse Galileo PDT for my work. I also use it to edit my CSS files.
Is there a plugin that lets me pick a color (from a palette or even anywhere from the screen) and which returns the HEX value of that color into my CSS file?
Jspresso Colors 'n Fonts
Just select any java string literal and right click on it to open the contextual popup menu... then select Jspresso>Choose Color... or select Jspresso>Choose Font...
Supports also tooltip : fly over your string literal to display the current color or font... and activate hyperlink to open the editor popup !
Aptana Studio has really great support for CSS. CSS color picking is easy, you can grab a color from anywhere on the screen.
You can install Aptana as a plug into an existing Eclipse installation.
http://docs.aptana.com/docs/index.php/Plugging_Aptana_into_an_existing_Eclipse_configuration
I would recommend to use external software: http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html
You can integrate it into Eclipse.
I have used this plugin called colors in both Galymeade and I just dropped into Galileo.
http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/Web_Links-index-req-viewlink-cid-1281.html you can copy the color code to/from clipboard or editor. Slider bar for coloring, color picker etc. I used it to edit css files on a recent project. Good Luck.
You might want to check out the second example at http://eclipsescript.org/#example-scripts.
I created a Groovy Monkey script that opens Eclipse's color picker. It was inspired by what fornwall pointed at (second example of Eclipse Script plugin). It's also able to recognize if current selection is a color so it can be selected it in the picker.
The script is on gist.github, instructions included.
Having a shortcut key for a script is not (yet?) possible in Groovy Monkey, but Crtl+Alt+M runs the last executed script.
A good plugin to consider is the Designerator Color Plugin from the Designerator project. It contributes a Colors view as explained in this blog post. No need to install the whole software, the color view is in a separate feature that can be installed by itself.
The Sampler plugin could also be of interest. However it does not show a color picker dialog where one can select a color, it only has the color picker tool for selecting a color from the screen.
There are a few plugins at the Eclipse plugins site that might meet your needs.
CSS Designer looks promising:
JointLogic CSS Designer is an Eclipse plugin that provides CSS authoring facilities like - CSS Styles view, CSS declaration designer with preview and web-oriented color picker. It integrates with Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) to allow CSS authoring while editing CSS and HTML files.
