Is there a simple, consistent way to change the color scheme of Eclipse editors?

I'm going crazy trying to get all of the editors to look similarly. It looks like there's a different color editor option for each file type/code type, which means it takes FOREVER to customize the view.

Add to that: each code/file type color option seems to honor the default set in the generic options only if it feels like it (seems buggy).

I'm currently using Eclipse 3.4.1 (Ganymede).

Is there a version that is less buggy or is there a more consistent way to change the text colors?

Barring that, has anyone gotten a Zenburn-like color scheme in Eclipse that would be willing to share?

I'm working on an Eclipse plugin for this:

It's by no means complete, but it does work quite well already.
