Eclipse Color Themes

Today while I was going through the source code of a big project I thought of changing background color from white to black and as well the font color. Instantly I google on this topic and got very good links on apply various themes in Eclipse. I thought of sharing them with you. I played them with and finally settled with "Green-Pintado" theme from the following link as of now:

Before importing an epf please remember to take a backup copy of your existing preferences (I suggest to take a backup of your entire settings directory).

Basically changing the color involves changing the following two files:


[workspace]\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs
[workspace]\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.ui.editors.prefs
