I'm using Eclipse and I don't like the appearance of the user interface, it's to much white color in the background. I have used Eclipse earlier, and then it was better with not all that white area! I have been looking in the preference, but have not found any places to change the user interface. Is there a theme that could be changed !?

Open your Eclipse Market Place and search for "Eclipse Color Theme",install it.

than go to windows> preferences> appearances> color theme, select your favorite style, and enjoy.

  • I don't have the market place in the menu and I can't find any place to download it!? it seem like I can't use the market place if I have the classic version installed, Juno!? Must I have Indigo instead!? – 3D-kreativ Aug 30 '12 at 19:33
  • Try Help> Eclipse Marketplace. Which version of Eclipse do you have? – meilechh Aug 30 '12 at 20:29
  • Hi again! I don't have any Eclipse Marketsplace inside the help menu. The version is 4.2.0 – 3D-kreativ Aug 31 '12 at 06:18
  • hi 3D-kreativ, i'm using eclipse, doesn't make sense you don't have Eclipse Marketplace. what do you have under the "help" menu?? – Elye M. Sep 11 '12 at 18:55

    3D-kreativ, you are right the market place isn't included in the classic version, however you can download and install him from hare [link](http://www.eclipse.org/mpc/), or you can probably install the Color Theme by downloading the source code from [link](https://github.com/eclipse-color-theme/eclipse-color-theme) and place it in the plugin folder in your eclipse home directory. – meilechh Sep 11 '12 at 19:11

In Eclipse Juno (4.2) it's possible to completely customize the look and feel of Eclipse via CSS, but doing so yourself isn't exactly trivial. You can get the "old" style theme (Indigo) easily via changing a Preference, see this question.
