Edit the Tab font in Moonrise Theme

Question

I am messing around with the ui of eclipse right now and found moonrise theme found here

https://github.com/guari/eclipse-ui-theme/blob/master/README.md

. I like it much more than the Dark juno and those are really the only 2 i found. So the theme is great and all but the tab font is a little ... not me i suppose. I read how to change it is to go into the CSS file once you extract it from the jar file, but after that i dont know how to save the stuff as a jar file again and place it back in the eclipse dropins folder.

thanks!

Based on both the question and the answer, I managed to change the tabs font on Windows 7, here's how:

1. Close Eclipse
2. Open <eclipse-installation-directory>/ plugins/com.github.eclipseuitheme.themes.moonrise-ui_0.8.4.jar (or whichever version you have) in an archive editor (WinRar, 7zip, etc.)
3. Open themes/css/moonrise-ui-standalone.css for editing (right click->edit)
4. Comment out all occurrences of font-family: 'Segoe Print';, i.e. replace them with /*font-family: 'Segoe Print';*/
5. Save the file and exit the archive editor. If prompted to update the archive, click yes.
6. Start Eclipse.
