Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle

It's a great theme.

I need a help to switch the default Eclipse workspace choice launcher back to Darkest theme.

I have devstyle dark theme installed, it is good and i am having a good user experience with it. 

May I know, how to edit the start up quotes/jokes when i lauch eclipse?.

Hi,

Thanks for making such an awesome theme experience free to the community. I hate the default dark theme Eclipse provides since not everything is properly dark and the icons look awful.

However, DevStyle cleanly replaces all icons and impart an excellent themed experience. I use it for C/C++ development. One suggestion I have is you could make the syntax coloring better. This is an area where the eclipse default dark theme does a good job. e.g. I manually set the color of function to be green for easy identification and skimming of the code. You can take cues from editors like Sublime text as well.

I really like this, however I have one problem with it: In my package explorer, some entries do not get styled. The font is black and the background white instead of the other way around, which makes working with the package explorer unpleasant.

Using Windows, When a list is opened, (i.e. with CTRL+SHIFT+T) the first element in the list is always highlighted with a lightgray color that makes it impossible to read the underlaying white text. Please fix, I love everything else about this theme!!

[Issue Description]

I don't know why Devstyle always erases the formatting of  SYNTAX COLORING settings.

Once you close your Eclipse, all the format setting in syntax coloring will be reset to a fixed normal style, like italic of static items, of bold for keywords.

No matter how I saved the configuration it didn't change. Even importing a preferences file(.epf) can't overwrite the format 

It seems like happened only in Dark series theme, Light series theme works fine.(But every one dose need the Darkest Dark)

Same problem happended in Eclipse Photon too.

[Enviroment Information]

OS: Windows 10.1709(16299.214)

Eclipse Version: Oxygen.2 Release (4.7.2)

Theme: Dark Grey

Hi,

I am having issues with the plugin I can't seem to fix.

Firstly, when Eclipse opens, this prompt pops up (every time):

"Given how DevStyle intercepts certain components of this IDE, it is recommended to restart now. Continue with restart?"

When trying to update, it says update pending and nothing happens.

When trying to modify, it says "The currently displayed page contains invalid values."

Anyone have any idea what's going on? I tried to delete the metadata, but that changed nothing. Thanks!

On Eclipse PDT,

1. PHP file and open folder icons are the old icons.

2. How can I change workbench color to the black? Custom color 0,0,0 showing somthing like gray color. I also want to change tab border color to same as the workbench color.

Hello,

i tried to applay new Dark IDE  but resoulation is very very bad and icoudont be able to read Code.

Hi congrats for this theme.

I just experiences a couple of problems maybe you could improve.

I'm using Eclipse Oxigen 4.7.1a on Windows 10.

1. The icons have no difference when they are selected or not (i.e. the "Skip all Breackpoints" is exactly the same if selected or not. No borders no icon change, so I don't know if it is enabled).

2. When a list is opened, (i.e. with CTRL+SHIFT+T) the first element in the list is always highlighted with a lightgray color that makes hard to read the underlaying white text.

For the rest it looks great to me till now,

Dear Developer , I like the icon , Is`s beautiful. But I can not set a dark editor with a light workbench. Can you relieve the limit? Thank you very much for such a wonderful plug-in!

I have been having trouble getting Eclipse colors for everything just right with the Default Dark Theme. This utility fixed most of the issues. It isn't perfect but resolved the major ones I had. The only problem is that now Eclipse keeps crashing. I'm going to have to uninstall it.

Hi, it's such an amazing plugin that I can't ignore it. But I kept getting this error while trying to install it over and over again..

No repository found at downloads.genuitec.com/downloads/products/myeclipse/installers/me2017stable2.0

So first of all, this is a very nice theme. There are however some elements that seem to have gone unnoticed (i.e. they are still bright). I'm using Eclipse Oxygen.2 64bit on Windows 10.

1. The border of the "quick access" search bar in the top-right of the UI is still near-white and visually pops out.
2. The "find" bar in the Task List view has the same issue as 1). Maybe they use the same widget in the background?
3. The Preferences menu has white separator lines (honestly I would drop them entirely they have always been ugly)
4. All plain buttons (e.g. Preferences "Apply" button) look awkward with their white border and hard corners, don't really fit in with the rest of the elegant theme. Also, focused buttons have a really weird double-outline (white from the button plus blue from the focus state).
5. The margins of the "tree view" in the Preferences window are off. The tree view has a darker background than the window, that would be fine but it doesn't cover all available space, creating strange-looking areas.
6. Group panes should use a darker outline, currently it's almost white.
7. Checkboxes could use some dark love, too.
8. Dropdown-menus have nice styling on the overlay that pops up, but the dropdown-button itself looks untouched compared to the regular eclipse theme.

Finally, I know that this is an odd question to ask, but could you include an option to keep the regular eclipse icons? They aren't perfect, but I'm just too used to them by now, I can't find anything without them.

After uninstalling this theme, my eclipse stopped working giving this exception.

java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: ECLIPSE_COLORS

Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
Version: Oxygen.1a Release (4.7.1a)
Build id: 20171005-1200
OS: Windows 10, v.10.0, x86_64 / win32

for example:

public class HelloWorld {
private int unusedInt = 0;
private boolean unusedBoolean = true;

public static void main(String[] args) {
  System.out.println(sayHello());
}

private static String sayHello() {
  return "Hello World";
}
}

the class  HelloWorld's clolor must be red,but it's white.

i reinstall the theme,it still the same.

why ? 

it can't surport the Java EE IDE for web developers(4.71a) ?

This is very good theme but I want to change also menu bar's color.(File, Edit, Source, ...)

Is it impossible?

Since "upgrading" from DarkestDark to DevStyle, things are no longer so dark anymore :-(
For example, #ifdef-ed out code had a black background before which was great but now it's got a yukky green background, so not dark at all.
This is just one example but I've noticed a few like this and must say that I preferred how it was before.

So how do I change these colours back to how they were in the "DarkestDark" theme?
Failing that, how do I remove DevStyle and go back to the orignial DarkestDark theme?

Thaks, Simon.

I prefer dark themes, and the ones in DevStyle look great, but with one significant problem. The drop-down arrows for unexpanded nodes in tree widgets have very little contrast relative to their background. At first glance, it looks like they're not even there. But if I look very closely, I can just make them out. When the node is expanded, the arrow is very light and so highly visible.

I tried available customizations, but I can't find a way to make the arrows sufficiently visible in a dark theme. Is there a customization I'm missing? If not, am I the only one having problems with this? If not, perhaps it can be addressed in a future release. I the arrows are dark to provide contrast between expanded and collapsed nodes, perhaps the colors can be reversed. When a node is expanded you already see the children (except when it's empty), so perhaps the hard-to-see arrows should be used when you already have other visual cues. Or better yet, provide contrasting arrow colors that both show up well against their background.
