Solution Description

Open-source dark and light themes for Eclipse Oxygen or more recent, inspired by planets of the Solar System!

Choose your theme:

  • Moon: familiar-looking but not an actual planet. Light-grey theme, by and large sticks to Eclipse's classic color scheme.
  • Neptune: dark blue theme with some red reflections from the distant sun.
  • Pluto: not much light reaches this distant dwarf planet, leading to a resolutely dark theme. The presence of purple has yet to be explained by astronomers.

A few words to summarise the planetary ambitions:

  • compact: few borders, less visual artifacts, and hidden buttons.
  • readable: easy on the eyes with low glare, balanced contrasts and an integrated editor font with programming ligatures.
  • outstanding: not a revolution, but hopefully a nice twist to the traditional Eclipse look and feel.

After installing the Planet Themes, I chose the Neptune theme (which is fantastic), but then I started facing memory issues on both macOS and Linux (Debian/Kali). 

This is the message I receive after building a project and trying to run it. IOConsole Updater error. Detail: Could not initialize class org.eclipse.ui.internal.console.ansi.preferences.AnsiConsolePreferenceUtils

After uninstalling, the issue stopped presenting itself. However, even after tweaking the memory configuration, I kept receiving the error.

If you're using Windows, please update to the latest version of the plugin. It fixes tree rendering issues as well as color resets on save.More information here.

I just wanted to leave a comment and say that these are some nice themes. Neptune is the one for me, and less stress on my eyes. Much appreciated!

Happy to announce that the themes are now compatible with 9 additional Eclipse versions and can be used on releases as old as Eclipse Oxygen (4.7)! Support for the latest Eclipse 2020-12 has also been improved!

Sure Prasanna, sorry this was not clear. Open Eclipse's preferences, navigate to General -> Appearance and select the planet of your choice in the Theme dropdown. Restart Eclipse and enjoy your new theme!

I've added these instructions to the project's README to help out future users as well: https://github.com/PyvesB/eclipse-planet-themes#cd-plugin-installation ;)

Three very nice themes. I like Pluto best - coherent color palette with good readability and some beautiful color selection.

First impression on MacOS: declutters the default Eclipse experience.

I like it! :)
