Created attachment 277038 [details] Screen shot showing the problem of the black background When using content-assist (CTRL-Space) in a Java source file and then stepping through to the Template Proposals, the list of templates is nicely black on white, whereas the additional information showing the expanded template that flies out to the side has a black background with unreadable foreground. See screenshot Eclipse-Content-Assist-Black.png. Other additional information windows, like for Javadoc, are nicely black on white. When I change Window > Preferences: General > Appearance > Colors > Basic > Information background color the template information window stays black, but other information windows, like for Javadoc change their color. This is on Linux Mint. % cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint DISTRIB_RELEASE=17.2 DISTRIB_CODENAME=rafaela DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela" which is using 3.10 of the gtk library. % apt-cache show libgtk-3-0|grep Version: Version: 3.10.8~8+qiana See also: https://stackoverflow.com/a/53981688/2954288
Also on Windows 10 the "Basic > Information background color" ("Window > Preferences: General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts") is not used for template proposals. For proposals other than template proposals, the "Information background color" will be used as expected.
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. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
