This may seem silly, but one of my main reasons for using IntelliJ over Eclipse is because it has a nice looking dark theme. I've tried using the dark theme on Eclipse, and on both Windows and OS X it had very bright scroll bars that clash with the dark editor.
I think my favorite keyboard shortcut in IntelliJ is double-tapping shift to get a really smart search to pop up.
- ionised 11y agoSame here. Eclipse seems to take some its UI look and feel from the host operating system, resulting in a weird mish mash of conflicting colours and difficult to read text. I ended up just settling for changing the editor colours (to my favoured Sunburst theme) and keeping everything else stock. IDEA is great for dark themes though. No messing around getting everything consistent and readable.
- austinsharp 11y agoI can't guarantee that I can reproduce it, but I have been able to get a nice Eclipse dark theme that includes the scroll bars (on Windows). I'm starting to use IntelliJ for other reasons though - double-shift is one of my favorites as well.
