Hello,
I use completely different editor color styles for Java and PHP. With Java
I want to use a *dark blue* background with bright text. With PHP I prefer
to go with the default coloring used on the PHP manual web pages, that is
with a white background and primary foreground (text) color being *dark
blue*.
I changed the general background color to my beloved dark blue in Java via
Window -> Preferences, General -> Editors -> Text Editors
plus the current hightlight background and others. I then set the PHP
syntax highlighting normal/primary text color via
Window -> Preferences, PHP -> Editor -> Syntax Coloring
to dark blue.
In the PHP syntax coloring preview Window the coloring is shown assuming a
white background. This is wrong. It should show the current (global)
background color.
Now my real problem is that I have a dark blue global(!) editor background
plus the standard PHP coloring with dark blue text... yuck, can't see
anything.
I really need these (global) text editor background etc. settings on a
*per-perspective* basis! A global setting isn't sufficient if the syntax
coloring is set by perspective.
Is there any way to fix/workaround this? Maybe a PDT setting that
overrides the current globals? I believe a change in Eclipse would take
some time to be implemented..... ?
Comments?
Karsten
PS: Until this is fixed I'll probably have to resort to using two Eclipse
Ganymede installations... *sigh*
