The problem appears not only with the new themes, new wave or other themes that were available and working with eclipse during the last release does not work as expected now. Are you sure this is a bug in the light-themes package?

Found a better workaround. None of the suggested ones worked for me.
In ubuntu,
right click on desktop,
click change desktop background,
click theme,
click customise,
click colours
Change background colour back to yellow, and foreground colour to black.

Cant find an edit button - but Its the tooltip background colour you set to yellow.
Wim Symons (wim-symons-deactivatedaccount) wrote : | #11 |
You can also do:
System > Preferences > Appearance
Click Customize ...
Select the Colors tab
Set the background color for Tooltips to #F6F88B
Set the foreground color for Tooltips to #000000
And restart Eclipse after that.

Hi Praveen:
I tested the snippet again in new version of eclipse(Version: 3.5.2
Build id: 20100218-1602).I found the problem still exist. In addition,I found the tooltip works well when using other themes(except "Appearance") of Ubuntu. Seems, that the text color for tooltips defined in OS theme is not recognized by SWT(theme "Appearance" defines for tooltips a black background and white text -> if you change the background color to yellow, the tooltip in ToolTip will be yellow with black text color),I think it should be caused by ToopTip does not inherit the text color of the Ambiance Theme.The text color is always "black", so if some theme(like "Ambiance", default of Ubuntu10.04) set the backcolor as black, we can not see text on tooltip any way.
Alexey Kotlyarov (koterpillar) wrote : | #12 |
Isn't it Eclipse's fault to draw tooltip text black, when it should be white as per theme?
Alexey Kotlyarov (koterpillar) wrote : | #13 |
For non-C development, there are other files setting it:
alex@flower2:
./.plugins/

And the last two (Ruby and DLTK) get reset after shutting down Eclipse, even though I've set it to the same as CDT.

This bug should definitely be fixed. While the normal text on the tooltip was white for me and there readable (although very ugly IMO), additional content of the tooltip like icons and especially links are not visible well (see attachment). Changing the tooltip colors of the theme works for me. In my opinion, the tooltips of a light theme should not be black anyway but yellow like the users are accustomed to.

In reply to comment #12
It is not eclipse's fault, per se. Eclipse uses several different text colours according to the syntax highlighting of the editor being used. If it were eclipse's "fault", then Eclipse would be responsible to check every single possible conflict of colours and dynamically re-configure the theme, which is completely ridiculous, and invalidates the entire point of eclipse managing its own syntax highlighting.
It should actually be gtk's responsibility to recognize when applications specify custom text colours / themes. In those cases, gtk should _not_ apply the default text colour / font / etc, but rather those specified by the application. Only when an application does not specify custom text colours / fonts / etc, should gtk resort to the default text colour / font / etc.
Alexey Kotlyarov (koterpillar) wrote : Re: [Bug 540332] Re: eclipse: tooltips unreadable | #18 |
It is Eclipse's fault IMHO. GTK theme specifies that:
- editor text should be drawn using background color A and foreground
color B.
- tooltips should be drawn using background color C and foreground color
D.
It guarantees that A and B, as well as C and D, are distinguishable.
Eclipse makes an incorrect assumption that if it mixes all the colors
together, D will be fine on A.
GTK can do nothing to prevent Eclipse from using the theme's colors (see

The info color background in ubuntu is black (and foreground is white).
Currently the code only sets the background of the tooltip to info background (==black), but it leaves the default foregorund set (also black).

in reply to #18:
This has absolutely nothing to do with eclipse!
If an application developer wants to use custom fg and bg colors, he/she will have a reason to do so, rather than using the system defined ones. (And if it is simply, because he/she wants his/her app to look the same, no matter what theme/distro is used, that should also be respected!)
In such a case, the gtk has to repsect the applications settings, rather than enforcing some system defined defaults!
Maybe there is not function in gtk te let an application tell the toolkit to use the default colors? That is not a fault of Eclispe either. If an application specifies colors, those should be respected, not overriden!
Also, the whole mess with GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS is ridiculous. Why isn't the some sort of compatibility API, if the developers decide to change the API between minor releases?
I had to set this flag for flash too, because some flash apps where not usable. And it took ages to find out that it was GDK not flash that was faulty, and where to apply the fix...
Alexey Kotlyarov (koterpillar) wrote : | #26 |
Eclipse *can* override all colors (see comment #7), but only for C. And
the problem is, by default it overrides the foreground color but not the
background, therefore the mess.
So a solution will be to either respect all theme colors, or none (and
end up with something like the notebook crapware:

BigBadBassMan (d-reiche) wrote : | #27 |
nope, this happens also for the PHP and JAVA flavours of Eclipse.
besides that, changing the theme to something other than Ambiance or Radiance solves the problem.
So, is it a bad theme-ing decision to use dark backgrounds,
or the eclispe folks, who have not considered that the backgroundcolor may be dark, and forgot to set the foreground color explicitely?
Anyway, it is not user friendly, to tell folks to use a different theme, when their most used application is barely usable.
The problem with manually changing the colors is: eclipse may work, but you break tooltips in other apps!
For me, eclipse showed TTs with black text on light background, whereas Firefox tried to render background and text of Tooltips in light colors - same as above but the other way around. Only reason was to switch to a different theme.

If you decide to test if this patch work, please remember to test with a

revise their solution. There is a link to it in this report.

I have another example of colors messing up with Ubuntu 10.04 and Eclipse 3.6 with Aptana 2
In the Aptana HTML editor, the content assist does not take the correct color.
The content assist windows is supposed to take the "input boxes" colors from the appearance theme editor. But as long as the background is correctly white and change color accordingly to the theme editor, the font foreground should be black but is white instead.
Other Eclipse content assist works right.
It seems to me problem is closer to GTK or OpenJDK, what do you think?

Hi
Ubuntu does not have eclipse 3.6 at the present time nor does Ubuntu ship this plugin, so I cannot do anything to fix your particular issue. Though I am interested in seeing it fixed since eclipse 3.6 is likely to the default in the release after Maverick.
I suggest you file a bug upstream against the Aptana HTML editor; feel free to link the bug to this bug so we can track it (others might also be interested in the progress as well).
The past cases of this issue has been that SWT or/and a particular plugin used its own colors instead of fetching the theme colours by default. You may want to point the Aptana developers to [1] (also linked from this bug).

I'm using the updated light themes from Maverick on Lucid but the problem persists. Even changing the tooltip background color there's another problem: The inactive selection is too light and also has white text in Eclipse (which is strange given that the text is black in Nautilus). It's annoying to open an autocomplete popup and get the selected option almost invisible. I've tested with Shiki Colors and the inactive selection puts the text black correctly so I don't know what's the difference between Ambiance and Shiki in this case.

This is still an issue for CDT editors. The workaround in comment #7 works (for me), but default behavior is unreadable tooltip text. Running version 3.5.2-2ubuntu4.2.

Someone has probably already mentioned this, but there is a way to fix the tooltip issue by going through preferences with the CDT (and Java) editors.
Window -> Preferences -> C / C++ -> Editor
Adjust the last entry, "Source hover background", in "Appearance color options". Do not use the system default. I use #F6F68D.

In my case it was better to uncheck "Use mixed fonts and colors for labels":
Window -> Preferences -> General -> Appearance -> Uncheck "Use mixed fonts and colors for labels".
Solved this and other similar problems.
Hope this helps.

This still happens on the declaration view (java), where only keywords (like public, super,..) are visible.
Anybody knows the setting to change this? No matter what i do, seems to change nothing lol

I'm still having this issue on natty, anyone else noticed this?

Yes, I have it too. I tried every workaround, but noting worked for me.

@Spinus: I also have this issue. I changed the theme (black on light orange), which looks sort-of OK in other applications too.

it also affects oneiric.
#7 solved the problem.

Still happens on Eclipse 3.7 and ubuntu 10.10 with the added bonus that with unity you can no longer change the tooltip colors unless you install some third party stuff.
I solved the problem copying the "Radiance" theme to my .themes folder under a new name and changing colors there as suggested on http://

Hi, I am still having this problem.

Okay, it's corregible through the options, but the bug should not be market as fixed becase if you do a fresh install of Version: 3.7.1 Build id: R3_7_1 you will still have it.

See comment 26, 27, and 28. I suggest you open a new bug against CDT.

That should be comment 25, comment 26, and comment 27.

An easy way to fix this is to install gnome-color-chooser .
Open it, go to Specific -> Tooltips and put black foreground over pale yellow background

Hi, all.
I reported a new bug for 12.04:
https:/
I'm not sure whether 10.04's Eclipse works out-of-the-box now.
But certainly not for that of 12.04.
Having workarounds is not enough.
We need root fix like patching the eclipse package in Ubuntu.

This problem re-appeared with GTK3. There is a description and screenshot here: https:/
It can be reproduced with this code:
http://
Tested systems:
- Linux Mint 17
- Arch Linux
- Both SWT 4.4 (without SWT_GTK3=0)
By setting SWT_GTK3=0, the tooltip/bubble has the correct color.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Could you provide a screenshot of the problem? It would help us understand the problem better. [not everyone has eclipse installed]
