  1. You can change the color with this is possible with the org.eclipse.ui.themes Extension-Point.

    Here’s an example snippet

       <extension          point='org.eclipse.ui.themes'>       <theme             id='de.spiritlink.custom.ui.theme'             name='Custom Theme'>          <colorOverride                id='org.eclipse.ui.workbench.ACTIVE_TAB_BG_END'                value='255,0,0'>          </colorOverride>          <colorOverride                id='org.eclipse.ui.workbench.ACTIVE_TAB_BG_START'                value='0,255,0'>          </colorOverride>       </theme>    </extension>

    Setting the theme programmatically with IThemeManager, which is an object that contains references to usable ITheme objects and maintains a reference to the currently active theme. This theme will be used by the workbench to decorate tab folders and other controls where possible:

    PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getThemeManager().setCurrentTheme('myThemeID');
