Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle

I wasn't thrilled to open Eclipse to a popup asking me to try something out.

I clicked "agree" to checkout DevStyle and see what it is.

It adds some weird branded startup menu. Which does what?

Each time I open Eclipse, I have to select my workspace. It then takes several extra seconds to open the editor. Can you believe this? Eclipse already takes a while to open.

Granted, the ability to choose icon packs is nice, as is the theme itself as always. But I'm not interested in a foreign startup menu crapping up my development experience.

Dev, your theme is appreciated. Can we keep it to that?

today, the theme pushed a update to my neon, it asked for restart, then my neon cannot start anymore.....

How can I fix that. I love the theme but without changing that its worse because that bar is so bright.

I love this plugin!!!

My only complain is with cut and paste.  If I paste into something that maintains formatting (for example, Skype for Business which my company uses for instant messenger) I get all of these grays and pale blues against light blue backgrounds ... it is hardly legible. I don't know if there is any way to deal with that?

Hello.

I have an issue in oxygen 64 version after installation.

In short, all sections in preferences are empty.  Actual sections on the left side are present, but right panel is empty for all sections.

I install the dark theme and Eclipse Oxygen fails to start and crash with:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2017-08-10 10:05:29.794
!MESSAGE Application error

Uninstall it from console via

eclipse -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -uninstallIU com.genuitec.eclipse.theming.feature.feature.group

I think your theme has cured my headache.

A much needed escape from Eclipse's stare-into-the-sun defaults.

Trying it out and found a small annoying instance, if you copy & paste a class and are taken to the accept default name, or rename the class option, the suggested classname (whichever class you have copied with a suffix of 2 usually) will now have white text yet be highlighted with a babyblue colour background making it unreadable. If you then move the arrow key back, the baby blue background higlighting goes away but now you cannot see your cursor either. 

This makes it a little fidgety for this operation. functionally it works, but in UX terms it's not the nicest.

Thank you so much! I have been looking at white UI and recogn eyes theme for so long! Now.. it. is. OVER! <3

I created an ccount just to post this! <3 <3

Been using it for few days now and feel the need to mention how great it is.  After all these years seems like the beast of a task that is making a Dark theme under Eclipse has been tammed!

Big thanks.

After installed the latest update, I constantly get a pop up message which is Java heap size, connection timeout on org.genuitec.theming.ui.

atfer I installed the theme eclipse no more starts..

OS: ubuntu 16.04

eclipse c\c++ neon

error log:.

[Error log removed by Eclipse Foundation]

I prefer dark themes and Neon was giving me problems with themes across the on my linux computer. In the rtc client in dark theme, some words were black, So I tried light themes and in the light themes, links were very light blue. But with this Darkest Dark theme, everything seems to be readable.

Hello,

I like very much the look and feel of this plugin, but my IDE gets too slow after installing it. The Console Window is unusable and switching tabs takes forever.

I tried with a fresh install of STS and with a fresh install of Eclipse Neon + STS. Both of them started to have those problems, making them unusable for developing Spring Boot Apps.

I would like to point out that I use Spring Boot with Developer Tools (spring-boot-devtools) for auto build and live reload.

Works really nice, My primary motive was to reduce the strain on my eyes while working.. it has reduced drastically..
One thing I noticed was , Progress bars are not aligned properly, as in the progress "blue" bar is below the blank space of progress instead of running over it.
also while launching eclipse, The workspace prompt is kind of messed up in colors with someportions like checkboxes being black while the rest of the window is "off white" as was before the installation of the plugin..

Eclipse neon.3

This is a must have if you enjoy dark themes in any IDE. Brings Eclipse into the 21st century. Thanks for delivering this!

I couldn't find any support forums so I'm posting this here.

I have to fight with the theme overwriting my custom syntax coloring options every time I open a workspace. I've had to resort to customizing syntax and then exporting the preferences for each workspace I have. Then, when I load a workspace, I have to import the preferences to put back all my custom syntax coloring.

Would be nice to get this fixed. Love everything about this otherwise.

This theme started to be in the top 10 downloaded Eclipse plugins in no time. This points out how users consider important a good designed theme for Eclipse.
Some things I would like to see (take them as feature requests):

1) Syntax highlighter: quite unstable now, sometimes it visualizes strange characters or odd color schemes that seem to be completely random (speaking about Java here, I haven't tried much for other languages).

2) More color schemes for code syntax: those from eclipse color theme are great. And that project seem to be dead. Quite a good opportunity here ;-)

3) I love the icon style: I don't know how legal would be to rebrand some icons, but I would like to see some better icons using this style for the project explorer and maven imported projects, various mime-types, new project creation and, if possible, the most popular plugins for Eclipse: JBoss Tools, Spring STS, eGit, MercurialEclipse, etc. Expecially the Docker Tools, they refuse to use a whale for the perspective icon.

4) Stability, stability, stability. A theme has a tremendous important role: if syntax highliting goes crazy, it prevents people from working comfortably.

Thank you.

The Package Explorer is finally useful again! HDPI screen and this is a must.

Combine this with the preference settings that emulate the Intellij Darcula editor settings, and the combination is bliss.

Should I repeat this theme is great?

Finally! This is THE Darkest theme I was craving for Eclipse!! At last, I have a quite smooth foreground and background coloring - along with so cool icons - to create, run and debug my Java applications =D My #CoderLife is not every in breath I take but in the great experiences that take my breath away - just as this awesome darkest theme is doing at this very moment!! You should really try it out! Most likely you will also enjoy this amazing pleasure to the eye and bring a beautiful zen-workspace to your projects ^_^
