Skinning Entire Eclipse GUI, Not Just Code Window

I have found some nice dark themes for editing code in Eclipse (screenshot below), but they only apply to the code window itself. The package explo开发者_如何转开发rer and outline view are still white background. It would be great if there was some way to make everything dark, even the toolbar at the top. Is this possible?

Thanks, Jonah

You can customise the user interface by creating a new appearance. This functionality is integrated into Eclipse, and comes with the 'classic' VS as well as the modern one by default. See http://andrei.gmxhome.de/skins/index.html for a custom appearance. You can probably change the colours of the component backgrounds with your own :)

In short: no, not really. SWT doesn't include any kind of skinning capability. If your OS has window color preferences, much of the Eclipse GUI will respect them, but I wouldn't guarantee all would. But you could certainly try using your OS's facilities, and see how far you get with that.

The Juno release of Eclipse (released 27 June 2012) makes it possible to change Eclipse's theme. The theme enables the possibility of changing every GUI color, even the toolbar at the top. The appearance of the editor was already possible. If you change both the theme and the editor's appearance with Eclipse Juno you can have a real nice looking dark theme.

This post has a simple 3 step proces to get a dark theme like this:

This will cost you less than 10 minutes to configure.
