Eclipse: Turn on syntax-highlighting for Classes and Objects

Is there any possibility to turn on the highlighting for Classes and Objects in Eclipse like it is in Visual Studio? At the moment only the Variable names are highlighted.

Left: Eclipse, Right: Visual Studio 2012

Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Syntax Coloring

Then just switch on / off what you want highlighted.
