Eclipse Juno: How to change background of code folding regions

Question

I'm currently using Eclipse Juno (the latest version as of Aug 30, 2012). I switched to a dark theme using Eclipse Color Theme plugin.

I modified some background colors to match this dark theme. However, I can never find an option to change the back ground of the code folding regions (the space between line numbers and the code).

Please help me to change this background color!

Answer 1

I was able to solve this problem using Eclipse-Juno on Ubuntu with the Dark Juno theme installed by doing the following:

• Click on Window->Preferences to open up your Preferences panel
• Open up the tab for the language you are using. For me this was C/C++
• Goto Folding, and then uncheck "Enable folding when opening a new editor".
• Click Apply and OK.

Now go back to your editor, and close and reopen any editors that you may have open (restarting Eclipse should also work). The default code folding will be gone, along with the white background.

You can re-enable code folding at any time (with a black background) by typing CTRL + NUMPAD_DIVIDE.
