When I change the background colour of my widgets (using the Windows Display Properties dialog), all of the widgets respond except for the text widget used in, for instance, the Java text editor. It maintains the colour I started with. (Tested against 20020125 build)
We have verified that StyledText *does* respond to system color changes if its background color has not been explicitely set. For example, if you open an editor on a .html file, and then switch colors, you will see that the editor background also changes. JDT is currently setting the background color of the java editor, which prevents us from changing its background color in response to system changes. Below is a stack trace showing where the color is set...

we should verify that the compare editor doesn't do the same.
Editor has been fixed for M3. Moved to compare.
Compare editor has been fixed for M5.
