In my Eclipse IDE Indigo Release, the color for matching brackets is not set properly, I can’t see the text of the tag “<div class=...>” in the bracket, so I want to change it, there is an “Eclipse_Theme.epf” file that I imported into Eclipse to set the custom colors, I’ve used the following approach before to change the colors I want to replace :
[1] Take a screen shot of the Eclipse editor
[2] Paste the screen into a window's painter program
[3] Use the color picker to pick the color I want to change
[4] Find it's RGB values, e.g. 10,20,255
[5] In "Eclipse_Theme.epf" search for the RBG value and replace them with my new RGB choice, save the file
[6] Import "Eclipse_Theme.epf" into Eclipse again to replace the old one, and the new color will show up in my Eclipse editor.
But some how the above approach didn’t work for the above problem, the color for matching brackets is not found in the “Eclipse_Theme.epf” file, my question is , where is it in Eclipse, that I can change this color, or which property in the “Eclipse_Theme.epf” file that represents this color, why is it not found ?!
Try Window->Preferences->Web->HTML->Editor->Syntax Coloring, or something similar, depending on the technology you use (JSF, HTML etc.). Another possibility is Window->Preferences->General->Editors->Text Editors->Annotations
