There are some small tweaks that improve the Colors and Fonts preference page: * sort the entries by definition kind, i.e., all the fontdefinitions appear together before the color defintions. For example the Basic node shows up as: Basic Active link color Banner Font Dialog Font Error text color Header Font.. Notice how color and font entries appear intermixed. This is confusing and the font and color entries should be grouped together. * fontdefinition entries show the fontstyle in the tree item label. While this is a nice use of the new support to change the font of tree items, it is confusing since fontdefinition entries which use bold appear as more important (more emphasis) than others. Suggest to show all entries in the default font. * (least important) support double clicking an entry double clicking a font definition -> open the Font Dialog double clicking a color defintion -> open the Color dialog
Could you also make the tree control expand vertically (not just horizontally) as you resize the preference window please? Tree controls in small view panes are really painful.
Hi, I just downloaded Eclipse 3.1.2 and I am using it on Windows XP SP2 with J2SE 1.5.0_06-b05. In Preferences > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts, I can change the face of the Text Font, but I cannot change its color. Worse, though I configured in the Windows Display control panel the color for text as a dark blue, Eclipse ignores this and instead uses black. As the window background color I use is grey, this leads to terrible contrast. In any case, it seems that either there should be no option to select a color for the font, or else the change should be reflected in my editor. I've heard good things about Eclipse and I'm looking forward to using it. Thanks! Eric Friedman
Eric, the Text editor color can be configured on the Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors page: Set the Foreground color (and the Selection fg color if you like). For other editors (e.g. the Java editor), check their respective preference pages.
Ccing Eric.
