PRODUCT VERSION: 122 On Linux, the system default is to not use Motif at all. Thus, saying that the text widget uses the "system set properties" may be correct from a technical perspective, but is entirely off from a user perspective. The correct solution for this (Linux specific) bug is IMO to ditch Motif entirely. StyledText now uses the correct text color. fixed. no really. My apologies if I'm missing something here. As of the last comment entry, 'McQ' declares the problem fixed, and the status is marked resolved/fixed, but I just installed 2.0.1 w/Motif on a Linux/KDE system (j2sdk1.4.1-fcs), and I still see a grey background where it 'should' be white. I have changed all the backgrounds KDE gives me options to change (standard, window, and button), but none of them have any effect on how Eclipse is rendered. I do see the expected total redraw, but the colors never change. SN to investigate. Gary, a Motif program will never read the KDE color settings. Neither will a GTK program. KDE is Qt. The only way to set the colors for Motif is to use .Xdefaults mechanism. We are in the process of making a FAQ about this. VI to close this PR when the FAQ is finished. FAQ now updated.
