I just installed the Eclipse color theme plugin and when I go to "Preferences-General-Appearance-Color Theme" and choose a new theme it does not change my colors. I am testing this in both the "Web" and "JavaScript" perspectives.
Currently my background color is black (which it was not before, and I in fact have no idea how it got switched). I just want to switch it back to a typical white theme.
Ok, I figured this out. I also have Aptana Studio installed in my Eclipse. Under the settings for Aptana Studio is a category called "Themes". When I changed the theme here my colors finally changed. This also explains why my screen switched to a black background. It must have been the default color theme for Aptana when I installed it. I guess the Aptana Studio themes override the default Eclipse color settings and also the "Color Theme" plugin I installed.

I recently wanted to change the theme of my Eclipse IDE (Version 2019-09) to a dark theme. While the famous Moonrise UI was not compatible with my IDE, I was satisfied with the standard dark theme provided by Eclipse as well as by the DevStyle Dark theme. Unfortunaly the menubar of the IDE is still white, which bothers me a lot. I run Eclipse on Windows10. Is it somehow possible to alter this?
Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about: http://prntscr.com/pa6pft
I use eclipse neon.1 on a macbook and I cannot change the color theme
I have installed the color theme from the marketplace but when I choose a theme from the appearance it cannot be seen in the small screen on the right and I cannot apply it.
I did the same job on my windows computer and it works just fine.
Thanks for your time!
(I want the oblivion color theme)
Please read before marking as duplicate, I have searched for an answer to my specific issue for a long time and have not found one.
My Eclipse (Luna 4.4.1) IDE refuses to change the background color for the text editor. Please see the screenshot. It seems to be black when the IDE starts, then after a few seconds it switches to white.
I have tried (with restarts of the program between changes):
Eclipse > Preferences > General > Appearance (Set to Dark or Moonrise)
Eclipse >
Preferences > General > Appearance > Color Theme (Tried many dark themes)
Eclipse > Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > (Background Color => Black)
I'm using the PyDev Pluggin, but I've also tried switching to Java and other perspectives and have the same problem. I've tried installing the Moonrise theme, and uninstalling and reinstalling the same as well as the Eclipse Color Theme plugin as well.
Has anyone seen this before and figured out a solution?
Updated:
If I change the IDE to the Java perspective and open a Java file I still have the annoying white background, but in a slightly different way:
I have uninstalled the moonrise theme and I am just using the Dark Theme here. I think this rules out Pydev influencing the colours and it must be something at the general editor level. Though again, I have set the background color to black for the general editor.
MAJOR UPDATE - The bug is somewhat reproducible
Ok, so I haven't solved the problem but I've figured out what's triggering it! When I open Window > Customize Perspective, the background switches to the correct black style and then stays that way until I restart the IDE. That's without me changing any settings, just the mere act of opening that dialog. But why?
I guess my answer to the this post How to change color of Editor in Eclipse works for you.
I think its because of Editbox plugin. Make EditBox Off then check. If not working uninstall EditBox then check.
Its because of conflicts between Editbox colour settings and eclipse theme settings.
From patchnotes, pydev seems to support the eclipse darktheme since 3.6.0 :
http://pydev.org/history_pydev.html
The PyDev editor supports the new dark theme in Eclipse 4.4 (so, when it's chosen the editor colors are properly updated).
I believe the pydev editor has his preferences, so if you want to edit colors for the editor, it might be under :
Window > preferences > PyDev > Editor
You can find some resources to customize the pydev editor (if still not answerint to eclipse dark theme) here : http://pydev.blogspot.fr/2009/07/creating-dark-theme-and-exporting-and.html
You can try disabling pydev editor through file type extension but not sure it will be a nice syntax coloring (window>preferences>pydev>editor>code style>filetypes)
How I can fix this? In Xubuntu I have installed Dorian Theme.
In Appearance -> Color and Fonts I see Content Assist background color and Content Assist foreground color, but this not working for me.
Updated your theme gtkrc file. Usually themes can be found in /usr/share/themes folder.
Refer these post.

I use Eclipse for Java, Python, C(++) and so on.
I'm accustomed to Vim and the dark color schemes. The default white background just hurts my eyes. And that's a real problem. It doesn't seem Eclipse supports any schemes? I tried a Plugin but it doesn't seem to work for MacOS and Eclipse 3.3.2.
Is there any better option for some color support?
Thanks,

There are some dark color themes available in the Eclipse Color Theme plugin:
http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-color-theme
Please check Fonts and colors in Eclipse for customization of Eclipse.
Note: Eclipse Luna (4.4, to be released in June 2014) just introduced (May 2014) a default syntax coloring for dark theme when using the Koneki project: see bug 433607, by Simon Bernard:
That illustrates how you can define your own syntax coloring theme and how you can register an extension to the dark theme for recent (4.x) Eclipse.
Go to "Preferences" under the "Window" menu.
In the dialog that pops up, select General, then Appearance, then Colors and Fonts
Correction: for editor foreground / background colors, you need to go to the preferences dialog, then select Editors, then Text Editors
You can also go to your source code, press the right mouse button, select an option under "Appearance color options:" and change the color using the "Color:" selector displayed.
