Can I change the background color for embedded code? [message #844108] Fri, 13 April 2012 17:47 Go to next message

Hi;

I'm in the process of transitioning to Eclipse from another IDE. One thing that I find very useful with the old IDE is that it gives a different background color for embedded code.

For example, javascript in an html page, <% %> in a JSP/ASP would have a light grey background whereas the rest of the HTML/JSP/ASP document would have white.

Is there a way for me to set this up in Eclipse?

If not, what is the best place to ask for it as a feature request?

Thanks

Steve

Color for Windows and controls is largely a feature of your operating
system.

Russell, I understand that Eclipse lets the desktop OS decide the overall background color. What I wanted to know is that if Eclipse or an Eclipse plugin will allow patches of the background color be different for one type of code embedded in another, like Java code embedded in a JSP via "<%...%>?

I don't know of one, but I don't troll much for cool plug-ins.
