Dark theme issues in mac have been suppressed by using NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance. This makes eclipse to opt out of dark theme support. According to https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsappearancecustomization/choosing_a_specific_appearance_for_your_macos_app we should do this temporarily only. Quote from the documentation ------ Important Supporting Dark Mode is strongly encouraged. Use the NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance key to opt out temporarily only while you work on improvements to your app's Dark Mode support. If you do not plan to support a dark appearance at all, apply a light appearance to your entire app, as described in Assign a Specific Appearance to Your App. ------ This is suppressing many dark theme issues present in eclipse. This is one reason why eclipse and its run time workbench differs in dark theme support. I suggest remove this workaround at the start of 4.24 release and attempt to resolve dark theme issues. If not possible we can reapply this during stabilization period.
- Set macOS to use system dark theme - Remove NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance from Info.plist - Launch Eclipse with its Light or System theme With the above steps there are many rendering issues so not just with Eclipse's Dark theme. If theming is turned off then it looks OK.
