Trying to change the background colour of the editor drop down [message #1750222]

I'm using Eclipse in Linux and the drop down for the editor selector has a white background and white text. I'm trying to fix this because it's not very useful set up this way. Before running Eclipse I set export SWT_GTK3=0 because if I don't, all the buttons and whatnot have a lot of padding. Even if I don't do the export, I still get the same colour problem. I can't seem to find the correct setting under General -> Appearance -> Colors and Fonts. I've provided an image in case it's not clear as to what my issue is. Thanks in advance.

I have got the same problem. To me, it's appearance seems to be correlated to an update from Fedora 23 to 25 I recently performed. I would guess that somehow the Adwaita-gtk-2-theme might be the problem (updated from 3.18.0 to 3.22.2), but I haven't been able to find sufficient documentation for the somewhat convoluted gtkrc-2.0 format to try and fix it myself yet.

Have you been able to fix the problem meanwhile? Which OS and gtk2-theme do you use?

I was able to fix that problem by adding this to my ~/.gtkrc-2.0

style "myspecialtooltip" {

  xthickness = 13
  ythickness = 13

  bg[NORMAL]   = "#eeeedd"
  fg[NORMAL]   = "#000000"
  bg[SELECTED] = "#eeeedd"

}
widget "gtk-tooltip*"                                              style "myspecialtooltip"
