Customizing Eclipse Dark Theme on Mars [message #1718010]

Hello, has anybody tried to customize the Dark Theme?
I have been trying for 2 days now, with no results.
When i customize the syntax coloring of the Java editor and apply the settings everything seems ok, but if I reload the workspace or I close and reopen eclipse it just seems to restore the default syntax coloring.
I tried on a fresh workspace, same behavior.
I tried on another computer with the same version of eclipse, same behavior.
I also tried with the Color Theme Plugin, same behavior.
On the Classic theme everything is working; the dark theme customization just seems broken to me...
Version is Mars 1 (4.5.1).

Thank You

I'm using Mars 4.5.0 and I have also noticed some strange behavior when trying to set Dark Theme, but I've managed to do it.
Also, I'm using the Color Theme Plugin.
FIRST, try to set Eclipse Dark Theme in Window->Preference->Appearance and choose Dark Theme, select OK.
And after that, select Window->Preference->Appearance->Color Theme choose one and select Apply.
Only in that exact order I've managed to set Dark theme, and everything works correctly.
