I downloaded the new Eclipse Luna (ver. 4.4) and changed to Dark Theme, but the code editor is not changing. See the screen-shot:
I tried this on MAC, Windows and Linux, always the same result.
Changing the Color Theme To change the color theme in your editor: Go to Window | Preferences | General | Appearance | Color Theme. The list of available Eclipse color themes is displayed.
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.
Impressive dark UI without any extra setup—Simple to turn on and off from Preferences>General>Appearance. Easily customized to your liking—It's a breeze to customize your colors fromPreferences>General>DevStyle>Color Themes.
Ok here's what worked for me. (on java 8 JRE on WinXP)
Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors: Background colour
deselect 'system default' and choose pure black
Now go to 'current line highlight' and make it your favourite shade of grey. RGB 60/60/60 works for me.
You can download Eclipse Color Theme plugin as a workaround. It worked fine for me.
After installing Eclipse Color Theme you have to go to: Preferences
-> Appearance
-> Color Theme
, then chose the whatever theme you like, from the screenshot I chose Monokai
You can download a dark color scheme for eclipse color scheme That did help me when i switched to black.
