Hi Folks
I applied the "dark" theme to CDT on windows (actually TI code composer studio) from Preferences > Appearance.
This changed the text colouring and most of the eclipse chrome, but not some of the text editor element colouring.
- The range indicator is still a bright blue
- The code folding gutter bar returns to the default light grey on every restart
- The scroll bars are still the default light grey
- The variable highlighting is still white (i.e. when I place the cursor on the "qFormat" parameter in the image, all occurrences of that variable are highlighted)
- If I open and then close the preferences window, a lot of the syntax colouring is replaced to white until reapply the theme, then the same parts turn black until I scroll up and down a bit.
Can I manually set some/all of these in the preferences items? (I'm not even sure what most of them are properly named?) .
Also, in any window that shows a tree-view (Project Explorer, Include Browser, etc), the "expand" arrows are now nearly invisible and also have little white bits, like they have no alpha channel. Is it possible to change the colour of these? Or switch to using the "+" & "-" style buttons?
Many thanks!
P.S. It would also be pretty cool if it was possible to have the overview bar (that's the annotation marker bar on the right, right?) be to the left of the right-hand scroll bar, so that the scroll bar is the right-most thing in the editor window. Is that also possible?

Hello Klaus,
Great to hear these things are being worked on! And thanks for the info
I see that bug you link to has already had a fix added for v4.4 M7, so hopefully the next release of TI's Code Composer Studio will include this
Just to note also, that I would have liked to contribute rather than just asking, but as a low-level C dev, Java is like a foreign land to me and with a Java project as big as Eclipse I have no clue where to even start looking  so, much props to the people that do fix such things!

I thought about the scroll bar situation for a little while and realised that it cant be entirely down to the OS as other programs (e.g. Google Chrome) style the scroll bars.
After some research I found there are a couple of bug reports on this, one of which even has a solution but no commit as far as I can tell 
bug 430278 and bug 455526
It would be cool if folks reading this could go vote on either or both of the reports!

I was able to solve some of the highlighting issues by going to Window > Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations and setting the colours for C/C++ Occurences, C/C++ Write Occurences and Search Results.
Strangely this does not affect the same highlighting within the search window itself...
Also, the Inactive Code Highlight item under Window > Preferences > C/C++ > Editor was useful to change.
