Unfortunately the latest update of Eclipse plugins discarded Inigo and installed Juno. It took me a lot of time to make it look like the previous version, but I cannot get it managed to change the blue tab color. Any ideas which setting or css this is?

[UPDATE] There are settings to change the colors, but these settings don't cause any effect, so can I assumed it is a bug?

  • @javafan Maybe you can manipulate it in the OS itself. I made this like this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8628864/how-to-modify-color-of-inactive-line-in-code-assist-in-eclipse – Bevor Dec 09 '15 at 07:40

It's not possible with the default themes and Eclipse installation, but there are workarounds:

Easy, but restricted: You can install the Eclipse 4 Chrome Theme, where you can configure each color, the space between parts and much more: enter image description here

Complicated, but "anything goes": Install the E4 CSS editor from the E4 update site. Modify the CSS as described in Switching tab styles.

  • Thanks, but I hate this design of the tabs you get with this theme. It's almost as ugly as the GTK theme. I need to change the color of the classic design. – Bevor Aug 15 '12 at 07:52
  • Updated to give you an alternative to change that color. – Bananeweizen Aug 15 '12 at 10:42
  • Thanks. I followed your instructions, but when I change the CSS it changes only the colors of the tabs which are NOT currently selected although the attribute is called swt-selected-tabs-background. So it's exactly the opposite of what it should do. So either I need another attribute for this or this Eclipse is totally buggy. – Bevor Aug 15 '12 at 12:42
  • Ah sorry, I didn't see that .MPartStack.active class. It works now, thanks :) – Bevor Aug 15 '12 at 12:51
