Eclipse console turned into black background after installing aptana plugin

I have installed in my eclipse (3.7.1) that i use for Java(JDT) development, aptana plugin because i'm working on some web project sometimes, now my console view have black background also when i'm in Java perspective ...

Why ?

How can i restore the default withe background of the console when i'm in Java perspective ? How can i do ?

Eclipse Console View

As you can see from the screenshot above the name of the console now is : "Aptana Scripting Console" , Why ?

The strange thing is that when i run the application in debug mode the console turn automatically with the default white background, and when i remove the debug instance the console turn black background again ...

Can i change the background color of a view for a specific perspective ?

Update

Switching to Eclipse theme from Preferences > Aptana Studio > Themes i had my Console view white again, but remain the fact that the console is named "Aptana Scripting Console", seems that aptana override the default eclipse console .

If i try to open the standard JDT Console, i can't because i don't have it in the list, the console appear only when i start debug my application :

Available Console

Maybe could be a bug of the plugin, or an incompatibility of eclipse with the plugin ...

You could change the theme from Preferences > Aptana Studio > Themes. The default is Aptana Studio, which has the black background, and you could switch to Eclipse.

You could also disable Enable Invasive Themes from the same preferences page to just turn off Aptana theming on Eclipse views.

I don't know about Aptana, but CDT had a similar issue a while back caused by a race condition when accessing the preference store. Maybe Aptana has fallen in the same trap?

The workaround for CDT was to manually reset the console background color, but since I don't have Aptana, I can't help you any further.

On the right side there shall be a monitor-like icon with a down-arrow. Check if you have the standard console in that drop-down list.
