Eclipse Color Theme 0.11.1

Categories:
Eclipse Color Theme makes it possible to switch color themes conveniently and without side effects.
After the installation, go to Window→Preferences→General→Appereance->Color Theme to change the color theme.
Please note:
If you are using a version of the plugin lower than 0.6, please uninstall and reinstall it from the new location. Update site and plugin ID have changed.
While Eclipse allows you to change the syntax coloring in great detail, there is no support for managing multiple color themes. It is possible to achieve that by importing and exporting preferences files, but this is inconvenient and likely to mess up your preferences. Furthermore, color themes have to be created for every single editor, a theme for the Java editor does not change the XML, JavaScript or any other editors. This plugin solves these issues by mapping a generic color theme format to specific preferences entries for each supported editor.
Eclipse Color Theme currently supports the following editors:
- Text
- Java
- Java properties
- XML
- HTML
- CSS
- JavaScript
- C++
- PHP
- Ant
- SQL
- Python
- JSP
- Perl
- Groovy
- FDT
- ActionScript/MXML (Adobe Flash Builder)
- Ruby
- Scala
- FreeMarker (JBoss Tools)
- PDE
- ColdFusion (CFEclipse)
- TCL
- BibTex/LaTeX (TeXlipse)
- R (StatET)
Available themes:
You can download additonal themes or create your own on eclipsecolorthemes.org.
If you have a feature request such as support for another editor, create an issue or a pull request on GitHub.
If you like the plugin and feel generous, you could make a donation.

4th most downloaded plugin of this month!
Congratulation to the developer of this plugin, by now it's the 4th most downloaded plugin of the month, even more downloaded than other important plugins such as PyDev and Google Plugin!
IMHO this highlights the necessities of many developers and the importance of having light and dark color schemes directly supported by Eclipse.

Tab coloring per project
Hi, It would be nice if you will get involved in Tab coloring per project. Coloring tab of each file per it project can be a nice feature, mostly for multiple versions of same product, where file names are the same.

Lovely
This plugin is great! IMO, this should be integrated into Eclipse! Code highlighting themes aren't simply vanity, a nice theme makes it more pleasurable to read code thus makes me more productive.
A little issue: after installing this plugin and restarting Eclipse, then configuring a theme, restarting the editors does not suffice to apply the theme correctly. I had to restart Eclipse another time. Not a great deal, but the initial tweak before restarting had black on grey background, which scared me :)
Also, in C++ with a dark theme you might want to change the "General -> Annotations -> C/C++ Occurences" background color. Otherwise, you get unreadable light on light color on the currently selected keyword/definition. You might also want to change the backgrounds in "Preferences->C/C++->Editor->Appearance Color Options->Inactive Code Hightlight"

Great! But unable to uninstall old version ...
I had installed an older version of this utility previously, but couldn't uninstall it because it didn't appear under the installed tab under the marketplace. I installed this new version on top of it, hoping it would overwrite the old one but it didn't. Now I have 2 color themes in preferences. Is there any way to manually remove/uninstall the old version?
That aside, this is great! Previously I had to muck around with config files to change the theme. This makes it much easier to change themes.

Excellent idea
great idea and a very handy website to create and publish your own themes. Only thing I would like to see is the ability to add a theme per content type

Thank you!
You almost saved my life, and for sure you have saved my eyes! THIS IS THE BEST ECLIPSE PLUGIN EVER !!!!!
I have only a problem: now the debug output text appears in gray with a white background, so it's almost unreadable... I have taken a screenshot of it here (I'm using "oblivion" theme):

Could you fix that please? And if you could, please add more styles and support for Python/PyDev syntax in a next update. Thank you very much.

Great stuff
Great stuff on this plugin. I love the vibrant ink theme. There are still sometimes some color conflicts (dark on dark, light on light) on things like mark occurrences and the such that users will have to adjust to their liking. Otherwise, awesome and much needed. BIG THANKS!

Please add more theme
Especially twilight-ish, the existing ones are to colorful for me :P. Anyway, I really love this, thanks.

great job!
I can't believe the plugin will improve this much, the site especially is a great idea! I will recommend this plugin to others! Thanks.
