I am using eclipse CDT on xubuntu. It works perfectly. The only problem is that the background colour of the pop up box that appears when you put the mouse over a variable for instance will have a background colour of black. Sometimes some of the text in this box will be black as well. I then have to select all text inside the box to read what is in there. For the life of me I cannot figure out where to change that background black colour... Does anybody here know perhaps please.

Go to Window > Preferences and then open C/C++ > Editor and play with <code>Source hover background</code>. Don't forget to uncheck the System Default box to be able to change the colour. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/zwaKT.png" alt="enter image description here">
