Changing color of Eclipse links in quick fix or Eclipse links in preferences on Linux

Question

if i use a dark theme then links in Eclipse-"quick fix" or in i.e. Eclipse->Preferences->General->Editor (the three 'see... "File Associaton"|"Content Types"|"Appearance"'-links) are unreadable.

On this image the links i am talking about are cyan on grey:

I found a solution for Windows/XP:

The hover uses the same colors as the on your system. On Windows you can change that via Display settings > Appearance > Advanced: ToolTip. The link color is the one used in your browser (IE on Windows).

However, i need a solution for Linux (XFCE 4.8.1/GTK)

I checked/tested all settings of Eclipse and i found no setting for this link-color. It seems to be a system-setting (GTK), so i already tried to add this to gtkrc:

style "default" {
        GtkWidget::link-color = "#ffffff"
}

class "GtkWidget" style "default" 

but this did not change the link color in Eclipse.

I hope you can help - thanks!

Use the colors menu (the first entry in the picture):

And redefine the tooltip background color:

Then enjoy the readable popups:
