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.

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
