i'd like to know how to change the color of eclipse's quick watch view (the topmost on the picture), which is enabled by clicking CTRL+SHIFT+I on a variable or expression while in debug mode.
I'm using eclipse STS 2.8 (guess its based on Indigo,but maybe Helios), on ubuntu and it gets really hard to read the contents as the picture shows.
I guess either the background color or the foreground color would be enough
Thanks
That background color cannot be configured in the eclipse because it uses your OS 's ToolTip 's background color .
You can refer this for how to change the tooltip background color in Ubuntu

the background color of the selected item in eclipse. How can I change the color here without changing the theme (see Figure)? The eclipse version I use is 2022-03 and the system is win7-64. After searching the whole network, there is no suitable answer.
Please see image for high lighted color to change. Here is the highlight
Unfortunately that appears to be a color setting which cannot be changed within Eclipse.
On Windows 10 it definitely uses the operating system default for Selected Text (which for me is blue), but you can change it through the Personalize settings for Windows. I verified this, but obviously that will impact all your applications, not just the Eclipse Console, so it's not a very good option.
I don't know things works on Linux or Mac, but I assume there is a similar approach available.
Notes:
You can easily change other color settings for the Eclipse Console. Just right click anywhere within the Console window and select Preferences... from the context menu. Then click on any of the colors shown (e.g. "Background color") to change it. Note that there is no option offered for changing the background color of selected text.
I also tried changing the Theme for Eclipse but the background color for selected text in the Console always remained the same as the Windows default regardless of the theme chosen. (I don't know of any technical reason why this setting in the Console cannot be customized though - perhaps someone else can explain?)
I am using Elementary OS, based on Ubuntu 12.04 and Eclipse Luna.
The background color of javadoc popups is black and font color is dark grey, so it is unreadable.
I tried to change background in eclipse preferences, but it did not change.
Then I used google, and found solution, that I need to change tooltip bg color. So I did it. But still no change.
Anyone knows how to change that color ?
I had the same problem with Ubuntu 16.04 and Eclipse Mars. I solved the problem by adding the following lines in eclipse.ini :
--launcher.GTK_version

As a KDE user, you have to change the tooltip background color with System Settings. Navigate to
Application Apperearence -> Colors (Left side menu) -> Colors (Colors tab on right side)
and adjust the Tooltip Background and Tooltip Text colors. In your case, adjusting the tooltip background should be enough.
The setting is under GNOME UBUNTU in Settings.
I would get a blank assist popup window and if I clicked on the window it would turn black and not show any text.
I tried many things to get the text to show up like changing the eclipse foreground and back ground colors or the above system settings.
I then started to look at the VcXsrv X server program I was running to display on my windows box.
I turned off the 'Native opengl' in the 'Extra Settings' screen of the XLaunch program.
This fixed my problem.
Since upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10, one of the things that's been annoying me is the background color of the left margin of the Eclipse Java editor window. It's pretty much white, which makes it difficult to see where the actual left edge of the editor window ends and the margin begins. Screenshot:
I've looked through all the Eclipse color settings and also all the "Gnome Color Chooser" settings and I don't see where I would change this. Any ideas?
Thanks!
You will want to go to Windows->Preferences->General->Editors->Text Editors and find the section called Appearance color options. You will want to change the Selection background color. This will also change the background of the main document, but this will make where one section begins and ends well defined. You can experiment with these settings and the settings under Java->Editor until you get the color scheme you want.
I am using Eclipse 3.5 IDE on Fedora linux. Too much white or light gray color is hurtful to my eyes. I managed to change the background of editor and console window to black but nothing else so I am still seeing 30 to 40% space as not black. How do I change the background color of package explorer?
If not possible then how to hack into eclipse source code or config files somewhere to do that and also to change all UI panels color to black from the current light grey and text to some other color from black?
Much of the appearance of Eclipse is controlled by the GTK+ theme. You can edit the current theme or try different themes out. The "Nokoka-Midnight" theme, for instance, is almost entirely black. I like a program called gtk-chtheme to switch them.

To change only editor without affecting the entire IDE you can try two approaches:

Go to Windows>Preferences>General>Editors>Text Editors and Java>Editor>Syntax Colouring and edit the colors there.
