Problem with Eclispe colors

I’m running Eclipse Juno on Linux (not that it matters) and messed with the colors and themes but can’t seem to correct the mouseovers. Dark blue on black in very hard to read. I’ve reset to the defaults via Windows>Preferences>General>Apperances>Color Themes & Colors and Fonts; but it seem to reset everything except this.

Did you try restarting eclipse?

yup… and the pc… no change

It might be under Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Syntax Coloring

It really matters. Desktop environment can get in the way too. Especially Juno introduce a kinda brand new interface.

Ok, cool then - something to work with. I’m running Ubuntu 12.10. Everything there is pretty default as well. I’m not sure really what I could have changed there that would affect this. Could you elaborate a little as to what might be affecting thing.

I don’t know exactly how they work. My problem was when installed new font on system, my eclipse’s font was messed. Pref of eclipse did nothing. The fix was do some font cache clear or else related to system (it was pretty long journey of googling to find this out).

Do you have another x session?

Ubuntu has a workspace switcher which I assume manages them as x sessions. There are four by default and they are not running anything.

No, I mean another desktop. For example try to switch to xfce or KDE or else.

I do not have any of these installed. This is a clean install.

Hmm unfortunately. A silly idea popped up that you can try look on notification/pop up color setting in ubuntu.

Found this, not sure if it’s relevant but it’s also talking about autocomplete boxes on Ubuntu.

@Jimmt Thanks! that was it. @ReBirth - Thanks you were on the right trail, and yeah… I’m a linux noob.

Not really, I started using full linux pc (without dual boot) for less than half of year.
