In the meantime, Eclipse Kepler was released and I have moved to an Eclipse installation via Arch User Repository. I do not know which of both broke my guide, but I really couldn't get it to work any more, so I checked the web again and found THIS "install-new-software"-installable theme via Stackoverflow. To turn it on, go the same way as before (Window->Preferences->General->Appearance).
Hey folks!
Since I had to spend some time googling again to make this work, I thought I'd just write down the necessary steps for some of you.
Actually it is pretty easy to "dark theme" eclipse juno when knowing how to:
- Install "dark juno" by Roger Dudler from here by
- Downloading the plugin zip file
- Extracting the "plugin" folder from the zip with its contents to <eclipse installation directory>/dropins/
- (Re-)starting Eclipse
- Navigating to Window->Preferences->General->Appearance and choosing "Dark Juno" in the dropdown
- Install the Eclipse Color Theme from the Eclipse Market
- Look for a nice theme on http://eclipsecolorthemes.org/ and apply it via Window->Preferences->General->Appearance->Color theme
Happy coding!
