In my system I use white on blue colors for writing, and white on deep
purple for 3-D objects and menus.
In eclipse, I have set (let) the standard colors for the editor etc.
window, since I do not want, so far, to have to change also the colors
for variables, comments, etc. Same for the console. It's easier for my
eyesight to use white on dark, but increasing the size of the font makes
black on white OK.
But there are some other cases when eclipse uses my system colors with
unwelcome effects, so I have to change them. The problem is, I don't
know where I can find them in the preferences, so I am asking for help
for a specific case:
(1) When I start typing a command, let's say:
System.out.
a drop-down list appears, with white on blue options except for the top
one, and consequently for the selected line, that is black on deep
purple. I would like to make it white on deep purple. Which color
preference should I change?
BTW, this should be a bug. Since eclipse specifies as background color
the system color for unselected and the 3D color for selected items, it
should also specify the system color as foreground for selected items.
(2) When I open Help Contents, on the right side everything is OK, with
black on white and navy (I think) links. On the left side, however,
while the selected line is OK (white on blue), the unselected ones are
light blue on white. Which preference affects the light blue?
(3) A similar problem to (1) arises when I click on a program on the
Editor: the Package Explorer tag, when previously selected, becomes
black on deep purple. I have corrected this by changing General >
Appearance > Colors and Fonts > Inactive Part foreground to white. But
again, it would be better if, since the default background color is the
system's 3-D background, the default foreground color should also be the
system's 3-D foreground, and not black. It's not that important, and
certainly those affected are not many, however for somebody familiar
with the process of reporting bugs might not be too difficult to report
these.
Thanks,
emf

To see what I see, look at
(1a) Drop Down List 1:
https://files.nyu.edu/emf202/public/temp/dropDownList1.jpg
as I describe it in (1) above.
(1b)
https://files.nyu.edu/emf202/public/temp/dropDownList2.jpg
The peculiar thing is that *after* I click on a line of the list, it
becomes white on *brighter* blue, and remains so if I move down using
the down arrow. I would like it to be like that also before I click on a
line.
(2)
https://files.nyu.edu/emf202/public/temp/eclipseHelp.jpg
Look at the left pane. For some reason the lines are light blue instead
of black. I would like them to be black.
What are the settings?

Since it seems there are no Preference settings, let me rephrase my
questions:
What are the lines of code I should include in an emf file and import it
to eclipse?
