Appereance of Eclipse in dark mode

After a fresh installation of the latest Eclipse (as of March 12, 2021), I switch to Dark mode. All text in the preferences window is shown in black on also black background, so it is impossible to read anything, and hence to change settings. The same issue remains after restarting the IDE.

Unfortunately, using a light color scheme is not an option for my eyes.

A C/C++ Eclipse... sounds like bug 569790. According to that bug, the problem should be fixed, though. What version of tracecompass is installed?

On March 17, 2021, Eclipse 2021-03 comes out, which should have that fix. Otherwise, try installing a newer version of tracecompass. The bug mentions it's fixed in 6.2.1.
