    I love the Darkest Dark theme, the icon updates and pastel choices, and so on. What I despise is that it removes many of my Java Syntax Coloring options. When viewing my Eclipse workspace’s .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs file, I consistently find the following items removed, even after I shut down Eclipse, restore the values, and start Eclipse up again. I don’t think all the values themselves are necessarily important, but the keys certainly are:

    • content_assist_completion_replacement_background=200,200,0
    • content_assist_completion_replacement_foreground=200,0,0
    • content_assist_parameters_background=52,57,61
    • content_assist_parameters_foreground=238,238,238
    • content_assist_proposals_background=52,57,61
    • content_assist_proposals_foreground=238,238,238
    • java_keyword_bold=false
    • java_keyword_return_bold=false
    • matchingBracketsColor=249,250,244
    • overriddenByCSS=,content_assist_completion_replacement_background,content_assist_completion_replacement_foreground,content_assist_parameters_background,content_assist_parameters_foreground,content_assist_proposals_background,content_assist_proposals_foreground,java_keyword_bold,java_keyword_return_bold,matchingBracketsColor,pf_coloring_argument,pf_coloring_assignment,pf_coloring_comment,pf_coloring_key,pf_coloring_value,semanticHighlighting.abstractClass.enabled,semanticHighlighting.abstractMethodInvocation.enabled,semanticHighlighting.annotation.enabled,semanticHighlighting.annotation.italic,semanticHighlighting.annotationElementReference.enabled,semanticHighlighting.class.enabled,semanticHighlighting.deprecatedMember.enabled,semanticHighlighting.deprecatedMember.underline,semanticHighlighting.deprecatedMember.strikethrough,semanticHighlighting.enum.enabled,semanticHighlighting.enum.italic,semanticHighlighting.field.enabled,semanticHighlighting.inheritedMethodInvocation.enabled,semanticHighlighting.interface.enabled,semanticHighlighting.localVariable.enabled,semanticHighlighting.localVariableDeclaration.enabled,semanticHighlighting.localVariableDeclaration.bold,semanticHighlighting.method.enabled,semanticHighlighting.methodDeclarationName.enabled,semanticHighlighting.methodDeclarationName.bold,semanticHighlighting.number.enabled,semanticHighlighting.parameterVariable.enabled,semanticHighlighting.staticField.enabled,semanticHighlighting.staticFinalField.enabled,semanticHighlighting.staticMethodInvocation.enabled,semanticHighlighting.typeArgument.enabled,semanticHighlighting.typeParameter.enabled,semanticHighlighting.typeParameter.bold,semanticHighlighting.restrictedKeywords.bold,
    • pf_coloring_argument=221,40,103
    • pf_coloring_assignment=217,232,247
    • pf_coloring_comment=128,128,128
    • pf_coloring_key=217,232,247
    • pf_coloring_value=23,198,163
    • semanticHighlighting.abstractClass.enabled=true
    • semanticHighlighting.abstractMethodInvocation.enabled=true
    • semanticHighlighting.annotation.enabled=true
    • semanticHighlighting.annotation.italic=true
    • semanticHighlighting.annotationElementReference.enabled=true
    • semanticHighlighting.class.enabled=true
    • semanticHighlighting.deprecatedMember.enabled=true
    • semanticHighlighting.deprecatedMember.strikethrough=true
    • semanticHighlighting.deprecatedMember.underline=false
    • semanticHighlighting.enum.enabled=true
    • semanticHighlighting.enum.italic=true
    • semanticHighlighting.field.enabled=true
    • semanticHighlighting.interface.enabled=true
    • semanticHighlighting.localVariable.enabled=true
    • semanticHighlighting.localVariableDeclaration.bold=false
    • semanticHighlighting.localVariableDeclaration.enabled=true
    • semanticHighlighting.method.enabled=true
    • semanticHighlighting.methodDeclarationName.bold=false
    • semanticHighlighting.methodDeclarationName.enabled=true
    • semanticHighlighting.number.enabled=true
    • semanticHighlighting.parameterVariable.enabled=true
    • semanticHighlighting.restrictedKeywords.bold=false
    • semanticHighlighting.staticField.enabled=true
    • semanticHighlighting.staticFinalField.enabled=true
    • semanticHighlighting.staticMethodInvocation.enabled=true
    • semanticHighlighting.typeArgument.enabled=true
    • semanticHighlighting.typeParameter.bold=false
    • semanticHighlighting.typeParameter.enabled=true

    Why must DevStyle remove these options? It stifles user customization, and as such it’s frustrating. This is the reason I cannot rate DevStyle with a smiley face response.

    Hi,

    Sorry that you are seeing this issue.

    Can you please clarify if the entries are being removed from the file?
    Example : content_assist_completion_replacement_background=200,200,0 is no longer found in the org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs file post applying the Darkest Dark theme?

    I ran few tests at my end on Eclipse 2021-06 + DevStyle’s Dark theme on Windows 10 and do not see any of the above entries being removed from the org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs file. The values are being reset though.

    If the entries along with the values are being removed which is strange and not intended behavior, then please share the below details :
    1. Eclipse version and distribution details from Help > About Eclipse dialog.
    2. OS and version details. If any specific OS theme is set, then please share those details as well.
    3. When exactly are you checking the org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs file? Until the workspace loads completely, the org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs file will not be complete. Means if the workspace is still loading and you try to open the org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs file, only few entries will be seen.

    Apologies for inconvenience caused.

    To answer your requests:

    Can you please clarify if the entries are being removed from the file? Yes, they are being removed. Please find the latest removed lines attached in a separate file for clarity.

    1. Eclipse version and distribution details from Help > About Eclipse dialog.
      • Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (includes Incubating components)
      • Version: 2021-09 (4.21.0)
      • Build id: 20210910-1417
    2. OS and version details. If any specific OS theme is set, then please share those details as well.
      • From the System Information application:

      • OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Home
      • Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042
      • Find the theme attached.
    3. When exactly are you checking the org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs file? Until the workspace loads completely, the org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs file will not be complete. Means if the workspace is still loading and you try to open the org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs file, only few entries will be seen.
      • I am checking:

      • Immediately after I set my Java syntax options and close the dialog, confirming in my Java file they are set.
      • Immediately after closing Eclipse.
      • Immediately after the workspace loads and I see my customatizations are gone from my Java file. This and the previous item give the same results.

      Additionally, find the “before closing” workspace archive attached, which is a copy of the workspace after setting my customizations, but before closing Eclipse. It also includes a screenshot of my test Java file showing my desired customizations.

      Also find the “after closing / reopening” workspace archive attached, which is a copy of the workspace after setting my customizations and closing Eclipse. It includes a screenshot of my test Java file without my applied customizations.

      Lastly, the theme file was not accepted, so here are the details. Thank you for looking into this.

      Hi,

      Thank you for the files. I am afraid I cannot still replicate the issue.
      I opened the before closing workspace with Eclipse 2021-09, checked if the customizations are present, then exited the IDE. Started the IDE again with the same workspace, but still see the customizations intact. I also tried tweaking the customization, for example: changing color for matching brackets. I see the change retained even after restarting the IDE and the entries are intact in the org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs file

      Do you have any other plugins installed apart from DevStyle?

      Hi,

      Thank you for the plugin details.
      As a quick check, can you please grab a fresh install of Eclipse 2021-09 with just only DevStyle installed and see if you can replicate the issue with the workspace you shared with us?
