I really shouldn't be replying because this is a DEPRECATED newsgroup!

Use eclipse.platform or eclipse.tools.jdt for such questions.

Anyway, check your wiki, this is a FAQ:

<FAQ url="http://eclipsewiki.swiki.net/139";>
How do I change colors in Motif?
Put the following in $HOME/.Xdefaults

*spacing:0
*XmForm.background:white
*XmList.background:white
*XmTextField.background:white
*XmText.background:white
*background:ivory3
*fontList:-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-120-75-75-p-67-iso8859-1

Make sure there is no 'space' behind the color reference.

Run xrdb ~/.Xdefaults and restart your applications so they can pick up
the new color-settings.
