Eclipse (4.14.0), changing the editor background colour

I had set the theme to Dark, and changed the editor background/foreground colours, but it did not work (only changed the line number background). So, I searched the web and found the existing question. But the answer was saying the same thing that I already had done.

Is the method changed? Why can't I set the editor background to complete black and the text to complete white?

For anyone still looking for this known bug in eclipse -> install the plugin that James Kufre mentioned, right know there is another version called: Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle 2022.6.13a. This plugin fixes the bug. You can then basically choose the complete color scheme of eclipse. So not only the editor field, but also the menus and everything!

There seems to be a recent Eclipse bug.

There is a possibly duplicate question here which has at least one additional suggested workaround besides the other answer to this question.

This worked for me: 1. Launch Eclipse 2. Click on Help 3. Select Eclipse Marketplace 4. Open Popular tab 5. Select and install "Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle CI 2019.9.16" 6. Wait for it to finish installation 7. Restart Eclipse At this stage, eclipse should restart with options to tweak background colour to your desired theme
