Changing highlight color of the 'Outline View' in Eclipse on Windows 7

Tags:

colors

In Eclipse, the highlight color in the 'Outline View' is so close to the normal color I can't see it. I know you can change the text editor quite a bit but I don't see a way to change colors of the other views including the Outline View. I have also tried to change the system colors or Windows 7 but nothing seems to specifically change the highlight color. Is this something that is configurable or maybe something a plugin might already do?

How do I get rid of black highlights in eclipse?

If you are getting the bold black cursor, then the icon must be enabled. So, click on the Toggle Vrapper Icon to disable. It's located in the Eclipse's Toolbar.

Eclipse Color Theme makes it possible to switch color themes conveniently and without side effects. After the installation, go to Window→Preferences→General→Appereance->Color Theme to change the color theme.

This isn't Eclipse-specific and there is not going to be a plugin to control this. The Outline View uses Windows native tree widget. You will need to keep looking at Windows configuration to see if you can alter this behavior.
