Why don't you do this on the OS level then? Eclipse uses the system defaults to set the editor font family, size fg and bg colors. Unfortunately the font dialog does not allow to set colors on all operating systems. We would have to introduce new default colors that editors could use as a start. And since we don't control all the editors, this would probably be even more confusing/inconsistent. Another approach would be to also display the existing editor color options on the the 'Colors and Fonts' preference page. |
