How to change search background color in eclipse

Question

I\'ve been searching for about 40 minutes now and this is just so frustrating...

The standard search result background color in eclipse is freaking white and black. Ever

Answer 1

Also in the search results window (that lists all the findings in a tree), the background color is under a different setting: Windows->Preferences->General->Appearance->Colors and Fonts->Match highlighting background color.

Answer 2

I am not sure I understand what you mean, but this might help, go to:

Eclipse -> Preferences -> General -> Search there is a line in the right that reads: "Foreground color for potential matches" and it has a box right next to it where you can change the colors. You can change the color of the search. Otherwise, you can also change the colors of what Eclipse highlights by going to:

Eclipse -> Preferences -> General -> Appearance -> Colors and Fonts -> Match Highlight background color
and change the color there.

Hope this helps! You can also look at this webpage:

Answer 3

This may not be true for all modes, but I'm using Eclipse with Flash Builder plugin on Mac, and it turned out I had to modify the current selection highlight:

General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Selection Background Color

Answer 4

To highlight the matching keywords in Juno

Windows->Preferences->General->Text Editor-.Annotations-> in Annotation Types box, look for Write Occurrences. Change the color there.
