CCS folding colour

Hello,

Is there a way to change the colour of the folding functions strip that runs down the editor. i've had a search for it and cant seem to find anything but its pretty easy to overlook something. does anyone know about this?


PIC:



thanks in advance. 

  • Hi,

    Unfortunately I couldn't find this customization setting anywhere in Eclipse, and searches around the net did not yield anything fruitful either. I imagine the OS color scheme can have an influence in that, but I am afraid it will not get into that level of detail - although in Linux this is potentially a lot more customizable than in Windows.

    Regards,

  • Thanks Rafael for the quick reply. A bit of a shame you cant change this as it catches your eye quite easily with my current colour scheme. thanks for looking though

  • Hi,

    I was able to change the color for the java editor, I don't have a C-editor at home to verify whether this option work or not for a C-editor.

    Here is what I modify to get the color to show up.

    And here is what it looks like in the java editor.

  • Patrick,

    In this case it may be possible the overall color scheme may influence in this (possibly from the OS or from the menu Window --> Preferences --> General --> Appearance), as his screenshot shows black on white, while yours is fully green.

    Cheers,

  • Rafael,

    It will only change the background for the editor. I just randomly picked green instead of black. Note that the System Default is disabled, so OS will not have any affect on the selected color.

    However, there is a bug in eclipse. If you have folding enabled in the preference, the folding strip will not use the same color as the background. To workaround, you will have to disable folding option in the preferences and if you need to have folding, then right click on the side bar and select enable folding from the context menu.
