[solved] Eclipse looks ugly. Any way to change the theme?

I am using KDE, with the oxygen-gtk theme for gtk.
Most applications look pretty good for my taste.
But then eclipse...
...it looks... bad...
I want a different theme for eclipse, and keep other applications on default, though I'm not sure if I need to apply another gtk+ theme or find a dedicated theme for eclipse.
I tried changing the theme in the "Appearance" preferences of eclipse, but that just makes it look worse.
I also tried searching for eclipse themes and tried some from here, but that only replaced the editor's theme.
It'd be nice if i could make eclipse look better.
any help?

mid-kid,
Have you tried this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ec … background
Holyshit, that work'd O.o (Eclipse throws an error at startup now tho)
Thanks!
So here is a list of what I did to get a gtk theme properly working:
1. Remove the css folder as explained here.
2. Download the gtk theme and place it in .themes
3. Created a gtkrc only containing the "gtk-theme-name" value.
4. Launch eclipse the way Trilby said, with the "GTK2_RC_FILES" variable. (unless you are using that gtkrc globally)
5. For a final touch, you may want to edit the editor's colors by either downloading one, or editing it yourself in Preferences -> Java/PyDev/Whatever_you_use -> Editor

  • Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"? (OSX 10.10)

    Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"?
    I can change it for one conversation, but then it resets to the default, tiny font.
    The preferences menu only lets me change the conversation font.

    Hi,
    As you may remember there used to be a Messages pane to the Preferences where the Font and colour of the Balloons or background and the Font text colour could be changed.
    And there was a Format Menu for character, word and Sentence changes in the current IM or iMessage.
    Those have gone in Yosemite's version of Messages (Despite it retaining the designation of Messages 8 the same as Mavericks' version).
    All that can be done now is set the size of the font and this has been moved to the General Section of the Preferences.
    The Yosemite version has also been fixed to using the Balloons style of send and receiving any type of messages as well.
    Changing the Font would involved editing the Balloon.transcript file.

    Is there any way to change the order of the items in the Files Inspector?
    Yes, but it must be done on a site-by-site basis.
    In the Site Definition dialog box, select File View Columns. You can control the position and display of columns there. The only one that can't be changed is Name.

  • HT4528 Is there any way to change the contact email?

    Is there any way to change the contact email? I had deleted my contact email without even a thought about my Apple ID. Any suggestions?
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    Without being able to login with the Apple ID credentials, it is not possible to change the recovery email address.  This is called security and prevents others from forcibly changing your Apple ID password and taking over the account.
    Options are either remember the security answers or fix access issues with the recovery email account.

  • Bcc: Is there any way to change the "undisclosed recipients" text ?

    Bcc: Is there any way to change the "undisclosed recipients" text appearing on the message at destination when I used Bcc?...
    Eudora offers the possibility to choose the text that appears when using Bcc.
    Does Mail do the same?...
    If yes, how?...
    Thanks
    sergio

    Every message that I send with addresses ONLY in Bcc:, when is received by others, or when I receive it back from some yahoo group, has the reading: "undisclosed recipients"...which I can see either when I receive an answer from some individual or when I receive the messages from the group.
    Of course, if I write any address in the "To:" space, what comes out is the address I type.
    My question was something else: HOW to CHANGE what comes out.
    In Eudora it is possible to have ANYTHING one wishes appearing INSTEAD of the "undisclosed recipients", it's enough to type a code inside the message once, and choose the text one wishes to appear.

  • Is there any way to change the web dynpro Appl. description at runtime

    Hi All,
    Is there any way to change the description of the Web dynpro Application at runtime.
    Thanks,
    Arti.

    There is an API to change the application description at runtime, but it will be new in NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 2 (so you probably don't have access to it yet). For the future here is a sample of the API:
    wd_this->wd_get_api( )->get_component( )->get_application( )->set_window_title( lv_window_title ).

  • Is there any way to change the type of Transport like workbench to Customiz

    Hi All,
    Here we are having very silly question.
    Is there any way to change the type of Transport like from
    Workbench to Customize and from Customize to Workbench within the same client.
    Assume that there the no object associated with the transport.
    Your quick respose is highly appreciated...
    Thanks in Advance!

    No this cannot be done.
    Both work bench and custimizing are separate entites when it comes to tranport layers config.
    You cannot save a report change into customizing request this will be saved into work bench request only .
    In the same way table entries or some customizing tasks can be captured only into custimizing tr.

  • Is there any way to change the label of my VO attributes

    hi ,
    Is there any way to change the label of my VO attributes so that it will have more logical presentation
    Thanks
    Musahib

    Hello Alex,
    I 've just checked my webbeans and the COLUMN_NAME_LABEL property is not use by the EditCurrentRecord, FindForm and RowsetBrowser webbeans.
    I had the following line to my custom EditCurrentRecord, FindForm and RowSetBrowser.
    So I can set Column display name ones for each webbeans.
    It's better than do it with different methods for each webbeans!!!!
    if((String)qView.getProperty(attrs[attrNo].getColumnName() + "_LABEL") != null)
    rField.setPromptText((String)qView.getProperty(attrs[attrNo].getColumnName() + "_LABEL"));
    In the ViewCurrentRecord something was done but with errors. Oracle Developers used getName() method instead of getColumnName()!!! So I rewrite it.
    if((String)qView.getProperty(attrs[attrNo].getName() + "_LABEL") != null)
    sHeader = (String)qView.getProperty(attrs[attrNo].getName() + "_LABEL");
    Hope this will help!
    Email if you need more.
