Eclipse dark theme set, but scrollbars are still gray

Question

I am using Eclipse Luna (4.4.0) and trying to make it completely dark. So, I installed the theme plugin:

Eclipse Menu → Help → Eclipse Marketplace, search for “Eclipse Color Theme Plugin”

In Windows Preferences, the theme Dark is selected and

Eclipse menu → Window → Preference → General → Appearance → Color theme, chose “Sublime Text 2”. Done, I just changed everything to Dark.

But the scrollbar is still gray

Does anyone know how to make it dark too?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Themed scrollbar for dark theme editors
Now you can replace the StyledText's built-in scrollbar with a stylized overlay. This is enabled by default in a dark theme on Windows. This feature can be disabled in a dark Windows theme by setting the swt.enable.themedScrollBar VM argument to false (or enabled in a dark theme for other platforms by setting it to true) in eclipse.ini or on the command line after -vmargs

-Dswt.enable.themedScrollBar = false

Please note that it can be added via css to any topic (see the css example: http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git/diff/bundles/org.eclipse.ui .themes / css / e4-dark_win.css? id = 742d2e990765d5bbf9be61ff3f047105f8102bd3 ) - the user can always redefine topics using the swt.enable.themedScrollBar VM argument.

Cautions. We know that the thematic scroll bar is currently not available for all elements (such as trees and tables), and in some places where the scroll bar was invisible (for example, to compare editors), the scroll bar can now be displayed. They will only be fixed for Eclipse 4.7.

For all Mac users, you can change it in the system settings: Apple menu> System Preferences, then click General> Show Scroll Bars. Select "Automatically based on mouse or trackpad." i voila :)
