Now, in Eclipse again, go to the “Preferences” dialog, then “General” - “Appearance”, change the Theme to “Jeeeyul’s themes – Chrome Theme”, “OK” and CLOSE Eclipse (close and not restart, because we need to tinker a bit under the hood).īack in Eclipse, in the “Preferences” dialog, go to “General” - “Appearance” - “Chrome Theme”, click the from the “Preset” drop-down arrow (see screen-shot) and from “User’s presets” select “Dark Eclipse” (the last option). You should end up with a file named /configuration//user-presets.xml ĭownload DarkEclipseTheme.zip, unpack it (preserving paths), and copy it in the /configuration. Then click “Installation Details” and go to the “Configuration” tab (the last one).įrom there write down or copy / paste in some text file the path to the Eclipse executable.įrom now on I will refer to that path as. If you don’t know your Eclipse location: go to the “About” dialog, This plugin will take care of the UI itself, but needs some more tweaking. It is ready to use “out of the box”, so you can go to the “Preferences” dialog, then “General” - “Appearance” - “Color theme” and select “something dark”. This is used to change the color for all the documents, but but not the “chrome” of Eclipse (dialogs, toolbars, etc.) Configure plugins “Eclipse Color Theme” settings
I will not describe here detail how to do it, the short version is: “Help” - “Install New Software…” - “Add…”, and add the URL you got from Marketplace. If for some reason you don’t have access to the “Eclipse Marketplace…” from Eclipse, you can go directly to “ Eclipse Color Theme” and “ Eclipse 4 Chrome Theme”.Ĭlick the “Update Site” icon (green down pointing arrow), and that will give you the URL to use. Install them both at once and save some time) (you can click “Install” on one of them, then click “Install More” in the new dialog to Install “Eclipse Color Theme” and “Eclipse 4 Chrome Theme”.In the “Search” tab search for “color theme” (no quotes).Mac OS X: “Eclipse” - “About Eclipse” Install pluginsįor this you will need two plugins: “Eclipse Color Theme” and “Eclipse 4 Chrome Theme” From the Eclipse Marketplace Ubuntu: change /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc.Change the console background and foreground.Select “Dark Eclipse” from “User’s presets” select.Change “General” - “Appearance” theme to “Jeeeyul’s themes – Chrome Theme”.Big warning: this was not maintained, and I didn’t use it in a long time (2-3 Eclipse releases?)Īt this point I would rather recommend using the default Dark Theme in Eclipse.įor quite a while I wanted a dark theme for Eclipse, and I have looked for one.Īnd although I have seen various pages addressing various parts of this, I have not been able to find a place where everything is put together in a set of easy to follow steps.
