Thank you for sharing these configurations.

@Eric You may add “inactiveCodeColor=” to org.eclipse.cdt.ui.prefs to solve the #ifdef block color problem. This is done in the Fractal theme.

Hi, thanks for putting this up. I especially like the Fractal theme, because it seems to have most of the colors defined, which means only very few colors depend on my system settings. Twilight for me doesn’t work, because some of the text becomes white text on white background, and I feel that Midnight some of the colors chosen don’t have enough contrast; most notably, the colors chosen for live code versus code inside a dead #ifndef block don’t show enough difference. I feel like none of the other themes are usable, at least on my system, because they result in text and background colors that are too similar.

@Emperor the files should be placed inside your workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/ folder. This is the filepath on linux, but I think it should be the same on Mac and pretty similar on Windows

Hi snajnar, there is a (very) rough port of Zenburn available above. Also for the time being, Zenburn is the default starting template for the Theme Generator so feel free to customize it further.

Regards,

I was looking for something like this for myself as well. I liked your themes but I have grown accustomed to zenburn. Could you please port the zenburn theme as well.
