DevStyle Update Site Unreadable

DevStyle is now maintained by CodeTogether - not Genuitec.
Submitted by Jason Ridge on Fri, 09/12/2025 - 21:11
DevStyle is now developed by CodeTogether, not Genuitec. They currently do not have anyway to report a defect in DevStyle and haven't released an updated plugin since it moved to CodeTogether.
While it appears CodeTogether is apparently aware of the problem and working on a fix (based on information from the original Genuitec community discussion (Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle is not compatible with Eclipse 4.37 · Genuitec/community · Discussion #6) there is no reference of DevStyle on the CodeTogehter website. I suspect the DevStyle plugin is headed down the abandoned road very soon. Too bad, because it was a really nice theme plugin for eclipse - much better color pallet than any other theme plugin (including eclipse own provided theme which hurts my eyes most of the time).

Hi Jason,
Thank you for reaching out and for your kind words about DevStyle - we really appreciate hearing that the plugin has been valuable for you.
We are actively working on resolving the incompatibility with the latest Eclipse release. Unfortunately, this issue is more complex than similar ones we've handled in the past, so it is taking longer than expected. While we don't have a precise estimate yet, please know that we are prioritizing this and will do our best to deliver an update in the coming days.
Thanks again for your patience, and hopefully soon you’ll be able to switch back to DevStyle.

While I'm glad to hear it is working now, I won't be installing it again.
I've been burnt one too many times and I'm not willing to gamble that the next Eclipse release won't have another issue.
Any chance the code could be open-sourced or donated to the Eclipse project?

Menu-bar not visible on focused window
Submitted by Christian Nuessgens on Wed, 12/18/2024 - 02:35
Does anyone else have the weird issue since 2024-12 that the entries of the menu bar ("File", "Edit", etc) are not visible when the window is focused.
Platform: Windows 10
Eclipse: 2024-12 (4.34.0)
Workbench theme: Dark Gray (Darkest Dark)
Icon colors. Primary Colors
Editor theme: Darkest Dark
I headed over to here to check if this theme is compatible at all. But it is marked to work with 2024-12.
However the entries are visible if the window is not focused. (also if one uses a "light" workbench theme)
One can "click" on a menu entry and than it is shown (if one "remembers" where the entry is used to be)
See screenshot

Submitted by Gianluca Bonetti on Tue, 12/17/2024 - 18:40
Inline Search is not for me, doesn't work well with keyboard shortcuts.
I always disabled that, but latest DevStyle update broke this and even if you disable Inline Search, it still prevails over your preference.
User's preference should be honoured by the plugin.

As mentioned in other reviews, the plugin is completely broken in Eclipse 2024-09 and prevents the IDE from starting up. Mentioned workarounds help boot into Eclipse to uninstall it, but nothing makes the theme actually work. Resorted to the built-in dark mode theme for the time being.
