Dark Theme for Eclipse Juno
Eclipse Juno finally ships with a theme engine that makes dark UIs usable. The Eclipse UI Themes plugin streamlines installation and lets you preview curated palettes.
Installation Steps
- Open Help → Install New Software….
- Add the update site: http://eclipse-color-theme.github.io/update.
- Select Eclipse Color Theme and complete the installation.
- Restart Eclipse and choose a theme via Window → Preferences → General → Appearance → Color Theme.
Tips
- Pair the UI theme with a syntax theme (e.g., Obsidian, Monokai) for consistent contrast.
- Adjust editor font smoothing under General → Appearance → Colors and Fontsif glyphs appear fuzzy.
- Export your preferences (File → Export → General → Preferences) so teammates can share the same setup.
