I'm using eclipse 3.1RC2 and latest CDT for 3.1. I have changed the default background colour to a dark blue and the default test to a gold-yellow colour. All the colouring with the C++ editor is working great, even with team- compare. However, I'm unable to edit all the colors within the makefile editor. There seems to be some some text that is the default black colour and I can't seem to locate a way to update it. I have gone through all the General- Exitors->Text_Editors settings as well, (this is where I set the new default colours). The problem seems to occur with lines that are continued with a back- slash and lines like: all: do something Lines like the following are hilited okay. EXE_EXT = .exe OBSJ = fred.o fred$(EXE_EXT): blah blah do something If the person fixing this problem would like me to send them a screen grab of the problem I can send this. Have Fun !!

I Forgot to mention that I have gone through all the settings in Preferences -> C/C++ -> Make -> Makefile Editor None of the colours are set to black, but I still seem to get black text in the Makefile editor. Have a look at the attached GIF images. Have Fun !! Shane Hill
Just for info. This problem is still seen in CDT 3.0 RC3, which I have just installed. Have Fun !! Shane Hill

You can change default makefile editor colour by manually editing file: workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.cdt.make.ui.prefs Simply add line: org.eclipse.cdt.make.ui.editor.default=255,255,255
Thanks for the update. This works great. It has fixed the problem I was having. Just for your information, I have implemented this slightly differently to allow me to import the setting into other workspaces and on other machines easily. I used the export preferences feature to create a preference file. I then added the line based on your information above: /instance/org.eclipse.cdt.make.ui/org.eclipse.cdt.make.ui.editor.default=255,25 5,255 Then all I have to do is run "Import Preferences" using the newly edited file and the colour is updated. Thanks for the help. Shane Hill
