If you are a happy user of a dark GTK theme, then you are probably familiar with this:
That's how it looks like with Boje-Greyscale theme, I am sure that it is pretty bad on other themes as well.
Here is the process I use:
- Install this: https://raw.github.com/guari/eclipse-ui-theme/master/com.github.eclipseuitheme.themes.updatesite (Help/Install New Software)
- It will ask you to restart Eclipse. Fine...
- After restart open Window/Preferences/General/Appearance. Choose !MoonRise theme.
- It will tell you that the restart is required, ignore this.
- It is way better now:
However, the editor window is still trying to pull your eyeballs out. To fix that we will install this: http://eclipse-color-theme.github.io/update/ (Same process: Help/Install New Software) - It will tell you that restart is required. That is true, restart now.
- Window/Preferences/General/Appearance/Color Theme, choose any theme you like. Sunburst should be OK.
- Congratulations! You have fixed your eclipse.
Some software could be installed from marketplace, but for some reason I am not a fan of it.
