Content Assist – Selected entry not legible
Hi team, I have recently installed the DevStyle plugin and noticed that in the “Darkest Dark” theme the selected entry in Content Assist (Ctrl + Space) is not legible due to the white characters getting highlighted in white.
IDE Package: (Spring Tool Suite 4)
IDE Version: 4.0.1.RELEASE
Extra Plugins Installed: FreeMarker IDE (1.5.300.v20161214-1103)Steps to reproduce the issue (using the “Darkest Dark” theme):
1. Open a Java file
2. On an empty line, hold Ctrl + Space to open the Content Assist.
3. Note the first entry selected by default is not legible.
4. Use the up/down cursor keys and observe the highlighting making any selection invisible.grgalex,
Sorry that you are seeing this issue with Darkest Dark. Thank you for the details and the screenshot.
I tried to replicate the problem on the latest STS 4.0.2 (including the FreeMarker plugin) on Windows 10, but the content assist selections look fine at my end.Can you please give us some more details?
1. Is this a fresh install of DevStyle? Did it work fine before?
2. Please share with us your OS and version details.
3. Please check if the issue persists in a new workspace as well. If yes, then please attach the workspace log which is located at workspace dir/.metadata/.log for further investigation.
4. To rule out Oomph overriding the default settings, can you please try the below steps and see if the problem persists :1. Shut down STS
2. go to your <home>/.eclipse directory and rename all directories starting with org.eclipse.oomph
3. Start up the IDE again and check if the selections are visible.Apologies for inconvenience caused. Please let us know how you get on with it.

Genuitec SupportHi Swapna,
Please find below the details requested:
1. This is a fresh install. It never worked as intended.
2. Windows 7 Professional (Service Pack 1 – 64-bit) VDI image. Desktop theme: Windows Classic (No other themes are available in this VDI).
3. The issue has been replicated in a new workspace (Log attached).
4. No Oomph plugin installed. Hence, no directories starting with org.eclipse.oomph are found under my <home>/.eclipse directory.Thanks,
George
George,
Thank you for the details. It is a known issue with Windows 7 and it does not let SWT stylize the color of a selected item on a list. The issue persists in Eclipse Dark theme as well.
It is unlikely we fix it at our end as it is OS dependent.Apologies for inconvenience caused.

Genuitec SupportThanks for the update Swapna.
Would it not be worth fixing taking into account that most workstations in the enterprise are still on Windows 7? (https://netmarketshare.com, 2018)
Thanks,
