In eclipse JDE, when I move my mouse over a Java element, a pop up will show up an with 'Press F2 for focus'. My question is how can I configure the background color of that popup? I have gone to 'Color and Font' in the preference. I have tried all the ones with 'black' background, but i still can't change the color.
I am using eclipse 3.7M7 on ubuntu 11.04.
Can u please tell me how can I change the color ?
hey mate I think your having same problem as me. I think this might help
try installing XulRunner 1.9.2 or later, I think its accordingly to your version of Firefox
If I'm not mistaking, well here are the links hope it helps

I would like to know if there is any way to change the color of the bulleted item in tree view in Eclipse while using a dark theme.
I found this post that show the same problem but the post focus only on font and background color, not the bullet itself.
According to the devs in the bug report i made at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=568543, "there was a workaround fix for this bug on Windows 7 which has since been removed, since it does not occur on Windows 10". So either use the last working version 2020-03 or change to a OS that has dark theme support as the tree is now a native widget.
So it seems the problem is reccurent with Eclipse 2020-06 and windows 7. I was able to reproduce the bug on 2 differents computers.
Reverting to Eclipse 2020-03 has sloved the problem.
I had set the theme to Dark, and changed the editor background/foreground colours, but it did not work (only changed the line number background). So, I searched the web and found the existing question. But the answer was saying the same thing that I already had done.
Is the method changed? Why can't I set the editor background to complete black and the text to complete white?
This worked for me:
1. Launch Eclipse
2. Click on Help
3. Select Eclipse Marketplace
4. Open Popular tab
5. Select and install "Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle CI 2019.9.16"
6. Wait for it to finish installation
7. Restart Eclipse
At this stage, eclipse should restart with options to tweak background colour to your desired theme
There seems to be a recent Eclipse bug.
There is a possibly duplicate question here which has at least one additional suggested workaround besides the other answer to this question.
For anyone still looking for this known bug in eclipse -> install the plugin that James Kufre mentioned, right know there is another version called:
Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle 2022.6.13a.
This plugin fixes the bug. You can then basically choose the complete color scheme of eclipse. So not only the editor field, but also the menus and everything!
I did the fix given by kayahr in here long time ago and it worked fine. But now it is not working. As you can see in the attached image the texts in the tool tip are barely readable as the texts are in white colour and I couldn't find any place for setting the tool tip text color in Eclipse Peferences. I recently updated Ubuntu perhaps it may be the reason for this error. I tried gnome color chooser too but it also does not have a option to change the tool tip text color. How to fix it? Thanks in advance
Eclipse neon uses GTK+3 by default so refer this solution https://askubuntu.com/a/70665/112794 [Editing /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc file is not required].
You can get your current by executing
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme
So in eclipse whenever there is an error it's underlined in red, and when you hover over it is displays an annotation with tips on how to fix the error. On my Windows OS it is correct and the background is a tanish color but on Ubuntu the background is black and I want it tanish like Windows. I know there is an annotation area under Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations, but I don't see a section to change background colors. Please help.
Oddly, colors and fonts are very poorly implemented in Eclipse. Quite a number of things are either extremely difficult to figure out or impossible. Looks like this one is impossible to modify. Perhaps there's an OS way to make those changes?
That said, I found an Eclipse plugin, Annotions Ruler Background. It looks like it should do the trick, but was designed for Indigo (3.7) and doesn't seem to work on Juno (4.2). Sigh.
You can install it from the usual way in Eclipse (help->eclipse marketplace->search, etc.). Their website is here.
If you're still on Indigo, give it a try.
I find this page, it works. http://ubuntu-user-tricks.blogspot.tw/2012/09/3-things-to-do-after-installing-eclipse.html
It change the theme tooltip background color, and foreground color if need.
You can install tool gnome-color-chooser or modify the configure directly (default at /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc). If After you modify the theme configure, you need reload theme to use new config.
I have a requirement to use Spring STS with a black background and green text.
Unfortunately the color of text in the Roo Shell is a dark greeny/blue color, making it almost impossible for me to see against the black background.
Is there a way of changing the text color in the Roo Shell?
I've looked through the STS/Eclipse preferences and can't find anything. I really hope it hasn't been hard coded. If there's no setting in the STS Preferences, is there a property file somewhere where I can set it?
I am using STS Version: 2.6.1.RELEASE
Thanks in advance
You don't have to use STS. You can just run it from the command line. I happen to have mine as green text with black background, because that is what my terminals display.
If that isn't helpful, what OS are you using?
I found that the colour of some window displays in Eclipse were controlled by the themes in my Ubuntu system. I just found the right one and changed the theme. (STS being based on Eclipse it may be the same)
It is not possible yet to configure the background and text colors of the Roo Shell in SpringSource Tool Suite.
It has been added as a bug by a member of the SpringSource team to be fixed in STS v2.8.0.M1.
