Eclipse luna ships with an integrated dark theme, I downloaded Eclipse CDT and deleted my workspace to reset Eclipse configuration.

I switched to the dark theme and restarted Eclipse; the UI doesn't look like expected: enter image description here

I also have checked for updates within Eclipse (no update found) The theme is supposed to look like the screenshots in the link.

Fix text editor colors:

Help > Eclipse Marketplace > Search for "Eclipse Color Theme" and install it.

Then go to: Windows > Preferences > General > Appearance > Color Theme

Fix text boxes colors:

Open a terminal and run

export SWT_GTK3=0

Then start Eclipse :

eclipse

The user interface should be fixed. If this worked for you edit the eclipse launch script for more convenience:

sudo gedit /usr/bin/eclipse

Add

export SWT_GTK3=0

Before:

ECLIPSE=/usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse

The editor issue should be fixed with Eclipse 4.4.1. On of the Eclipse plug-ins was affecting the styling of the editor.

    I'm on Luna Service Release 1 (4.4.1). It's not fixed.

  • For reference, the problem is not yet fixed on 4.4.1, but until a proper fix comes through, Toshihiro's workaround seems to work (although scrollbars and buttons are still kinda crappy).

I had problems with a dark theme also. You can try the following:

go to: Windows>Preferences>General>Appearance

and disable: Enable Theming

It might help!
