Eclipse Color Theme Reset After Each Restart Of CCS

LazyHD
Expert 1060 points

I am working with CCS  Version: 6.2.0.00050, I like dark color development environments (obviously !) so I switched to CCS dark theme but I do not like the default styles it comes with (too colorful for me). So I installed Eclipse Color Theme plugin and chose another theme "Gedit Original Oblivion".

Till now everything is good, the problem is that when i close CCS and reopen I need to go the preferences each time and set the theme again. The dark color is still set but I need to go and re-apply the theme i want to change the syntac colors. The weird thing is that when I open the preferences page above I can see that my option is highlighted "Gedit Original Oblivion" but I need to hit apply to make it work.

I know that this might be a problem with eclipse itself and not related to CCS direclty. But in my standard eclipse cdt installation I have Oomph bundled with it. Oomph offers a workaround/fix for this issue with the preference recorder feature. Any idea how I can emulate this using CCS ? 

Thanks in advance

    Hisham,

    I am able to reproduce it.  I am not sure if this is an issue with Eclipse itself or the plug-in.  

    I tried a few things based on suggestions that I could see online.  There were a number of references to the Oomph preferences setting that you mentioned.

    We do not bundle Oomph with CCS.  To install Oomph in CCS you first need to install EMF.

    Go to Help -> Install New Software

    enter as the update site

    Select EMF Core

    It will complain about not being able to install some portions.  I just acknowledged this and went ahead with the install.

    Once that is done and restarted I go back to Install new software

    enter as the update site

    I selected only the Oomph preferences management feature as I had trouble installing a number of others.

    That got me to the point of having Oomph show up in the Preferences dialog.  But no sign of the preference recorder.  So I went back and added Oomph setup.  Once I did that then I could see the recorder.

    I am not sure which ones you need to check but hopefully you are familiar what to do next from your other environment.

    Regards,

    John

    After playing around with it some more it looks like it has automatically started recording my settings. I can see that it applies the theme after a restart. For a couple seconds I see the regular dark theme and then it switches to the Gedit one.

    Awesome, I didn't know I can add Oomph to existing eclipse installation. I think this is the solution I was looking for. I will verify it once in front my work PC. Thanks again.

    Update: I followed your instructions and I got it working. The couple of seconds at start is the same for eclipse cdt environment not only CCS.
