I, being old-skewl from the TURBO Pascal days, like to look at code with a black background. The various syntax coloring editors for MyEclipse for XML/HTML/JSP/Javascript seem to work fine, except for equal signs in most of the various editors. I can’t seem to switch that from black. The content type (using that neat feature that you click on the part of the sample code and it auto-selects that coloring feature) for equal signs is empty and the color selection widgets are greyed out.
Strangely, the CSS styles prefernces editor seems to have an option for Default Text in this case, but the others do not.
The java preferences and global preferences in Eclipse don’t seem to impact/carry over either, so I’m stuck with a black equals sign on a black background.
Carl,
We are aware of this issue and will be addressing it with a quick workaround soon (it is under investigation for 3.8.3 but might get pushed to 3.9) as a handful of users feel strongly about this. The ultimate fix of making changes to the parser to recognize these tokens and stick them in a colorable category of their own is farther off.Yeah, we’re a little vociferous about black backgrounds.
Kind of like those functional-language LISP foammouthers.
0-2 on bug reports. Oh well.
I found a way to change the equal sign color…..
Search the following files:
xmlsourcecolors.xml – For XML
jspsourcecolors.xml – For JSP
htmlsourcecolors.xml – For HTMLOpen them in any text editor.
See if there is a line with the tag name like this:
<color name=”tagAttributeEquals”/>All you have to do is add the foreground and the background like the rest of the tags have.
Restart Eclipse and there you go.
BTW, I am using MyEclipse 3.8.2.
