Is there a way we can change the RCP application's title bar color ? The default is dark blue in Windows. But is there any way we can change the color of the title bar..
If that is not possible, is it possible to change the color of the TITLE in the title bar ?
I would be launching two instances of the same application in my machine. I need a way to differentiate these two instances just by looking at it by means of color.
If the above is not possible, could you please give some ideas as to how to differentiate these two instances by means of color coding?
Thanks,
Santhosh
I think that it is not possible to change the title bar color. The reason is that SWT trys to look like a native windows, mac or linux applicaiton.
So you must configure the title in the preferences of your OS.

Install4j is a great installer to work with. But i found some limitation for it and also it works differently on different platform OS.Right now i am working on Windows OS. Below are my queries .Please suggest some good solution.
1)I want to customize the install4j window. By default it corner shaped, i want it to be round edged at corners. How can i customize this window ie. changing shapes, changing the opacity, color, etc.
2)In directory chooser can we customize the the "Browse" button. I want to add image to the button matching to our theme.Is there any way to do that?
3)When i disable the "minimize" option for installer ,it is not clickable but still shows the disable icon.Can we make it disappear that?It works on CentOS but on windows it still shows the icon.
4)Can we customize title bar?
In install4j 8.x, no window customizations are supported and it is also not possible to set an icon for the file chooser button.
I was using STS and decided to give it a try to the dark theme, but the color of the tooltip window, was black and the font also black hence impossible to read, so I restored the appearance to the default settings hoping that the tooltip window color would change as well but it didn't. I haven't found a way to customize the colors of it. Does anyone knows how to do that? Thanks in advance.

At least on Windows 7, it looks like the title bar color may have been changed to blue. However, the title bar icons were designed only to be used on a light gray bar rather than using alpha transparency for antialiasing. Note the white highlights around the edge of the green circle "run" icon.
The icons look horrendous, like we're in 1995. Is this how it appears on other Windows 7 user's installations as well? I noticed there's theming, and the closest I can find to something that works is the olive theme. I can't find a toolbar color in the Appearance/colors and fonts preferences though. Is there any way to revert the title bar back to the old color or replace the icons with correctly designed ones?
In the meantime, I filed an Eclipse bug for this.
Either select the classic theme under Appearance (and restart!) to go back to the 3.x look or install the Eclipse 4 Chrome theme, which can be tuned to your personal preferences in detail.
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
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.
