As we can see the default color of "Text Font" is set to black, which is also referred to by "Java Editor Text Font" And I Java/Editor/Syntax Coloring, there are some elements' color also default to black, In most cases, these is no problem, but when I switch my windows color scheme, such as lime text/black background, now in Eclipse I can not see the ordinary/not colored text because they are also black! so I suggest the general "black" text color are just default to the same vaule of OS text color, maybe an color entry "automatic" is better.
We use the (default) color provided by StyledText.
This WORKSFORME outside of the Java editor. When I change the default text color from black to dark blue, the .txt files in Eclipse change.
Created attachment 21693 [details] black is not BLACK, but lime/green ;-) (In reply to comment #2) Please take a look at my screenshot ;-) we can see the default text color setting in Preferences > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts > Basic > Text Font The text color is "Black"! but you can see it's lime/green in the text editor screenshot, because I've changed my OS color scheme, (os win2k). then how can you say that it work for you? at least the name "Black" is wrong! ;-) (don't care about the font name, it's Chinese, means "NSimSun")
Created attachment 21694 [details] "black" Java element got hidden. (In reply to comment #2) Here is a screenshot of the Java editor: and till now, I've only changed the basic text font/color, nothing of Java editor or Java > Editor > Syntax Coloring is changed, and I've changed the font setting of the invisible element, they are "black" :(.
(In reply to comment #4) > and till now, I've only changed the basic text font/color, sorry for any confusion, actually I mean I've only changed the font face in the basic > text font, the color is still the default "black" I've only change the color of font in windows theme. Thanks Roger
The font color is always ignored. For Text editors we have a preference under Editors > Text Editors allows to set the colors to the system default (this is in fact Eclipse default). The problem with the Java editor is that the current syntax coloring preferences don't allow to specify 'System Default'. For 3.2 we should add an option to each syntax highlighting which allows to specify (using radio buttons): (x) Use default text editor foreground color (with a link) ( ) Color: [color button]
