I am using eclipse color theme plugin to have a dark background. (http://www.eclipsecolorthemes.org/). The plugin works really great. One problem I have is that dark backgrounds look terrible with eclipse's comparison editor. For example, added lines have a dark blue highlight, which does not show up well at all on dark back grounds. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    I think what you're looking for is `Window > Preferences > Appearance > Colors and Fonts > Text Compare` You can change the colours there, also check out http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5053834/eclipse-ide-for-java-full-dark-theme. – Gerard Roche Aug 16 '12 at 21:16

BullfrogBlues had the correct answer in his comment. You can change the colors for the comparison editor at Window > Preferences > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts > Text Compare.

The outgoing change color works as an overlay: enter image description here

    How about the background of text compare? It is still black in my case. How do I change that? I could only change `Outgoing change color`, which is the outline of the comparison color. – Houman Oct 10 '14 at 16:29
