Set eclipse hyperlink color under KDE

Question

I have dark eclipse theme (Moonrise) and also dark theme for native widgets set in KDE. The problem is that dar blue hyperlink are not very legible so I would like them to be of different color. In the picture there is not that dark theme used, but with darker colors the link cannot be read.

Even thoughtI was setting the hyperlink color in every possible settings menu I could think of, I have not been able to set eclipse hyperlink color. It seems that Eclipse ignored the Appearance -> Colors and fonts settings.

It would make somehow sense if the native GUI settings would be to have dark blue hyperlink color. But I cannot see, that this would be the case in Application Appearance -> Colors section.

Is there a way to change the color of hyperlink? Why is it still dark blue? I am not interested in settings the tooltip background as is often suggested in this case- I have already set it to lighter color so the hyperlinks are readable.

Answer 1

• Go to Window > Preferences and change the current theme restart eclipse. Refer picture below.

• Install eclipse colour theme plugin then you will get lots of options to change the theme. See here.

Note that in different themes the colour of active and visited link will be different.
