Answer 1

For all mac users out there, you can change it in system preferences: Apple menu > System Preferences, then click General > Show scroll bars Select “Automatically based on mouse or trackpad.” i voila :)

Answer 2

1. cmd+space
2. System Preferences
3. General
4. Show scroll bars: "When scrolling" (see screenshot)

In my opinion though, this isn't a great solution because you don't see the scroll bar sometimes and sometimes it still shows the bright grey scroll bar depending on where you put your mouse.

Answer 3

Eclipse's built in dark theme is very problematic.

Check out the DevStyle plugin from Eclipse marketplace. It creates dark themes up to par with other IDEs like IntelliJ.

If you want to get rid of that scrollbar, enable Show whitespace characters in

Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors
