Question

Visual Studio has a way to import, export your color settings.

Does Eclipse have something similar?

I’m looking for the ‘perfect’ color scheme in Eclipse that’s easiest on the eyes. For me, that simply means a black background (so I’m not staring into a bright light bulb all day).

Thanks

Answer 1

The simplest way is to change all the colors from the preferences, and then save these so they can be reused by others eclipse sessions (or in other workspaces).

So a good start is to go to preferences->Editors->Text Editors.

Then go towards the bottom half and you should see ‘Appearance color options‘, select ‘Background‘, uncheck ‘System Default‘ and you can pick the color you want.
