Importing all my plugins right now. Excited to try out dark theme, but last I checked it didn't quite look right on Win unless you modified your os chrome...

edit:nope, still doesnt look good. i guess the problem is with swt delegating as much as poss to the os, but still :(

- benjaminpv 12y agoSeconding this. I'm using plugins to have a pseudo-dark theme (a lot of the UI is standard but a lot of the editing surfaces are dark), so I was excited to give dark theme a try. Black text on a dark background, the disclosure triangles in option panels are black against dark gray.
- virtualwhys 12y agoHave you considered installing a screen inversion program on Windows and then stripping out all the wasted space from the Eclipse UI? That way you'll have your total dark Eclipse (not just themable parts) of the fun. I don't grok themes, in my Eclipse there's not a pixel of wasted space (short of toggling the main menu which I haven't figured out yet). How Eclipse looks is moot when it looks like VIM ;-)
- smrtinsert 12y agoI can control the space with Jeeeyuls plugin which I use, however Windows only seems to invert the entire desktop or nothing. Do you know of an inverter that can target per executable? (basically launch only eclipse inverted)
- virtualwhys 12y agoGood question, I installed the program "NegativeScreen" on a Windows 7 VM awhile back, can't remember if the inversion spans the entire desktop or if it's per connected monitor (strongly prefer the latter). Give it a shot, on Linux here so not sure what other options are available. If you can get per screen inversion then you're golden.
- braydenjw 12y agoAgreed. Can't really complain when it's free software. I much prefer dark themes for IDEs, but I'll still be using the default one for Eclipse.
