Coming from the command line editors, I have a tenancy to like my code editors somewhat dark. And while I’m sure you could show me other such editors or yell at me to keep using said command line editors, Eclipse is where I spend most of my development time (the tooling is solid). With the recent updates to Eclipse Juno I can now make things a little darker.
What it looks like
If you want a quick breakdown on how to style eclipse, look no further than Lars Vogel’s article Styling Eclipse.
I used Eclipse Chrome Theme, which gave me some quick rough rules. I then jumped to CSS Spy and found the last pieces that I wanted to style out. Then I used Eclipse Color Themes for the main code editor itself (much quicker FoggyDay).
The code
The following is the code. It’s not perfect (you may lose some label text in places), but it works about 95% of the time.
