Spectrum dark theme - working for me
Submitted by Richard MacDonald on Sat, 05/13/2023 - 15:15
I have been trying to find a dark theme for eclipse for years. This is the first one where I can actually read the menus, icons, and non-editor panels. How novel that this isn't another "dark-text-on-dark-background" theme.
I'd like to change the selected menu from red-background because that seems a little harsh to me. And some of the text (the team repository information in the package explorer panel, for example) is too dark a brown.
But as I said, the first usable dark theme for eclipse. Thank you.

Hi Richard, thank you so much for your kind words - I'm glad you're enjoying Spectrum Dark Theme :)
Have you tried modifying the color preferences for spectrum theme? See https://github.com/AObuchow/Eclipse-Spectrum-Theme#how-to-customize-spe…. This might help your issue regarding the red background being too harsh.
Feel free to submit a bug report with some screenshots to further demonstrate your problem with the colors: https://github.com/AObuchow/Eclipse-Spectrum-Theme/issues/new

Sorry to hear the plugin didn't seem to work.
Currently, you have to manually change their Eclipse theme to Spectrum Theme for the plugin to work. To do so, click "Window" on Eclipse's menu bar -> Preferences -> General (on left side of preferences) -> Appearance. Then select "Spectrum" from the "Theme" dropdown box and click Apply. Let me know if this helps.
In a future release, Spectrum Theme will prompt the user to switch themes upon plugin installation. There's an open bug for it here: https://github.com/AObuchow/Eclipse-Spectrum-Theme/issues/93
Good quality theme!

The Spectrum theme is visually pleasing and gives the Eclipse IDE a resolutely different look and feel. The author is friendly and open to feedback, don't hesitate to drop a line on the GitHub support page!

Great theme on Mac
Submitted by Ingo Mohr on Fri, 06/26/2020 - 16:01
I use this as my daily driver on Mac OS. The clean red/black look is imho pretty appealing.
You can even customize the colors to your like - AND the font of the project explorer!
