We’ve just released version 0.12 of the Eclipse Color Theme plugin. It’s been a year since the last release, so there are a couple of changes. Most notably, the following new editors are now supported:
- Erlang (ErlIDE)
- haXe (eclihx)
- Clojure (Counterclockwise)
- Go (GoClipse)
Check out the full change log to see what else changed.
Roger and I haven’t done much work on the plugin or the site in the past year, but we’re both eager to move it forward and are working on some interesting ideas right now, stay tuned.
On a related note, since people ask for this a lot: If you’re using Eclipse Juno and have been desperate to get a nice dark UI theme to go along with our dark editor themes, check out Roger’s Dark Juno.
Hello
I prefer xml instead of epf.
Is there any list (somewhere) that describes what elements can be used in a colortheme.xml ?
Because I don’t want to set these colors in Eclipse manually:
General/Appearence/Color and fonts/Text compare/Outgoing change color
General/Editors/Text Editors/Annotations/Debug Current Instruction Pointer – Errors
General/Editors/Text Editors/Line number foreground
This settings help for better view for dark themes (like vim_default).
Thanks in advance reply.
Well, you can always build your theme on http://eclipsecolorthemes.org. If you’d rather edit the XML manually, you can just download any of the themes on the site to see what keys are available.
Hello
I tried building theme, but I can set only the Line number’s color.
There is no element for:
General/Appearence/Color and fonts/Text compare/Outgoing change color
General/Editors/Text Editors/Annotations/Debug Current Instruction Pointer – Errors
Why so important this for me?
Because Compare and Merge tool (cant see clearly the differences)
& Debug (cant see the current debug line) not very usable without this settings.
Maybe these options could be included in the next version.
Thanks Mark, you are right – those are missing.
I’ve created an issue for this:
https://github.com/eclipse-color-theme/eclipse-color-theme/issues/107
Thanks for your help.
There are many colors (on those eclipse options) which can not be found in the xml.
I only have these options are missing. It would be nice to have other adjustable.
Finally, I found a little bug in theme preview.
I create this:
http://eclipsecolorthemes.org/?view=theme&id=9513
And the bracket’s color should be light blue not yellow (like keyword)
No, not all colours of all editors can be set individually in the themes. We are mapping the values we have (currently based on the Java editor) to those of all the supported editors.
Looks like you have indeed found another bug, I fear it’s a regression
I’ve created a report for that, too:
