I use a green on black colour scheme for my system (easier on the eyes, battery, etc). Microsoft Word, Mozilla, Notepad, etc... all realize that I wouldn't want to print a white text on a black background, even though I might prefer to edit it that way; wastes way too much ink, and you can't write on the print-outs. Eclipse should offer some way of overriding the background colour as well. Technically, this might be an enhancement, but I don't consider changing my colour scheme back and forth to be acceptable behaviour. Overriding of both foreground and background (thereby loosing some of the colour information) would be acceptable, although my ideal solution would be to override the background colour and apply a brightness filter to the foreground colours. Thanks! :) --cwillu
Note that a workaround would be to export two versions of one's preferences, one with colours appropriate for printing, and switch between them both.
for consideration post-3.0
I think this is not SWT problem, code running on top of SWT could offer this feature. I'm not sure who implement print for Eclipse, I'm send this to Text, please reassign as needed. C William Underwood, if I was in your place I would export my preference for printing and default so whenever I need to print I just need to import the printing.epf, print what I need, then import back the default.epf
