When customizing my eclipse UI to display text with a dark background and light foreground text, I constantly run across situations where I can't find the setting to configure a particular kind of background or foreground color.  For instance, currently the background for 'matched search terms' is offwhite and the forground text I'm search for is teal, meaning matched search items are nearly unreadable.  It would be very helpful if I could select an item from the eclipse menu and then click on a piece of text and have eclipse determine where the foreground and background color for that piece of text were configured and take me there.  Alternatively, a context menu option to directly set the text color would work as well.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the color scheme to use a dark background color and light foreground color.
2. Search for an item
3. See the matched search results are nearly unreadable.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
