Default UI Coloring Issue - 10-27-2009, 11:35 PM

Installed eclipse with CDT and I'm very impressed so far. I've got my syntax coloring changed to a nice (for me) dark background with light colored text. Works great except for one problem. When I click on an item and it (and all similar words) become highlighted the highlight is in a light color. My text becomes washed out. I've hunted high and low, but I just find where to change that highlighting to another color. I also need to change the background color for the pop-up macro expansion - did that one once, but I can't find it again.

thx

You should be able to find the settings as: Windows | Preferences | General | Editors | Text Editors | Annotations. There are two settings you probably want to change, Info and Occurances.

I've found three more nits. The first is that code enclosed in #ifdef, #endif pairs is still showing up with a white background. The second is that the Project Explorer, Make Targets, Outline and likely other non-code windows are still dark text over light backgrounds - any thoughts where those color choices are? The third problem is that my platform defined types, e.g., uint8, are showing up with "Problem" coloring in their syntax. The project compiles fine under WinGW even with the -Wall flag set.
