I want an SWT widget for color picker.The closest I could find was a color dialog box in which case a dialog box appears to select colour. But I want a drop down color picker.
I'm not aware of any alone color picking widget other than ColorDialog in SWT. You can find other handmade components in open source projects, but it will not be easy to use them in your project 'cause of their dependencies.
You can look to open source project code browser with color picker search (be aware of different licences), especially to some particular codes spket project color picker, perl editor color picker, nattable color picker, jsc color picker..

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.
I am Using Eclipse Neon 3 with darkest dark theme. The color of text and background of selected items are very similar in Project explorer, Search and any other non editor panel as shown below so it is very hard to read . Anyone know how I can change them?
enter image description here
Well I found the solution. The highlight color is applyed system wide so I had to change the color theme of Gnome GTK Theme with Gnome Tweak tool.
I have dark eclipse theme (Moonrise) and also dark theme for native widgets set in KDE. The problem is that dar blue hyperlink are not very legible so I would like them to be of different color. In the picture there is not that dark theme used, but with darker colors the link cannot be read.
Even thoughtI was setting the hyperlink color in every possible settings menu I could think of, I have not been able to set eclipse hyperlink color. It seems that Eclipse ignored the Appearance -> Colors and fonts settings.
It would make somehow sense if the native GUI settings would be to have dark blue hyperlink color. But I cannot see, that this would be the case in Application Appearance -> Colors section.
Is there a way to change the color of hyperlink? Why is it still dark blue? I am not interested in settings the tooltip background as is often suggested in this case- I have already set it to lighter color so the hyperlinks are readable.
Go to Window > Preferences and change the current theme restart eclipse. Refer picture below.
Install eclipse colour theme plugin then you will get lots of options to change the theme. See here.
Note that in different themes the colour of active and visited link will be different.

After looking at your comment, you may get some clues from here

I was wondering if there is a option or plugin, which allows us on hover to preview either a CSS color or image, something like this:
And also if you hover over an img src - preview the img... ?
Try "Quick Color Picker for Notepad++". You double-click on the hex color and a color-picker pops up as well as a preview. Another cool thing is that it provides a few more colors that match the "theme" if you will.
Here is the link Quick Color Picker
SIDE NOTE: There used to be a feature or plugin, until very recently, that actually highlighted the text of the hex code with its color. It came out of nowhere after an N++ update and then it disappeared after another one. Can't figure out how to enable it again.
HTML color is the closest thing I have seen when it comes to color preview. With it installed you select the color code and click a button to show the preview. From the preview you can change the color by a few clicks. It can also be used to insert new color codes.
Image preview I have never seen.
Eclipse is a default, and a background color is white,
but many developers uses the dark color (black) and thinks whether it is used the letter color with white or green.
I can't find tools which the color template can change an editor color of Eclipse by a blow very much.
Do you know featured WEB sites.?
If get possible to choose dark color among a beginning like MIFES, makes me Happy
I don't fully understand your question but for changing Eclipse's editor background color just go to menu: Window > Preferences, and in the dialog go to General > Text Editors. In that form just select Background color from the list Appearance color options and use the color picker in the right to change it. For other formatting options go to General > Colors and Fonts in the same dialog.
NOTE: All these formatting changes are saved in your workspace if you create a new one it'll start with the default settings
As a very late follow-up (just found this via search), there is now Eclipse Color Theme, a plugin you can grab from the marketplace. It enables you to use color themes from various sites and load them directly.
They even got a few relatively close Netbeans-lookalikes (that's why I was looking for one).
If you mean "themes" as Netbeans has "Dark pastels" theme - then Eclipse currently doesn't have this feature.
In the newer version of eclipse, we have an option Switch to Theme...
This should resolve the issue.
