I am using Eclipse 3.5 IDE on Fedora linux. Too much white or light

  • 0

I am using Eclipse 3.5 IDE on Fedora linux. Too much white or light gray color is hurtful to my eyes. I managed to change the background of editor and console window to black but nothing else so I am still seeing 30 to 40% space as not black. How do I change the background color of package explorer?

If not possible then how to hack into eclipse source code or config files somewhere to do that and also to change all UI panels color to black from the current light grey and text to some other color from black?

    Much of the appearance of Eclipse is controlled by the GTK+ theme. You can edit the current theme or try different themes out. The “Nokoka-Midnight” theme, for instance, is almost entirely black. I like a program called gtk-chtheme to switch them.
