First Word
I use Eclipse for long time. I have used both white background and dark background, and I like none of them. Why? Because generally less contrast between screen background and the surrounding lights is good for your eyes.... most studies have shown that dark characters on a light background are superior to light characters on a dark background (when the refresh rate is fairly high). For example, Bauer and Cavonius (1980) found that participants were 26% more accurate in reading text when they read it with dark characters on a light background.
Set system color
I use windows system at work. I first set my system background to this color:
Hue = 85
Sat = 123
Lum = 205
Install Eclipse theme
First (optional), you may want to try the color theme plug-in:
http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-color-theme
Then you can change background color of text editor to anything. I set it to default, though.
A Korean guy wrote a very nice customizable theme " Jeeeyul's Eclipse Themes " which is found here: http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/jeeeyuls-eclipse-themes
Drop this theme into Eclipse for installation. After this is installed, set the color theme according to your preferences.
Alternatively, we can use this URL to install in Eclipse: http://eclipse.jeeeyul.net/update/
Change background color of text editor
This is the last step.
The color shall be same:
Hue = 85
Sat = 123
Lum = 205
Lum = 205
