color of outline-icons, colorblind [message #140838]

Hi,

I'm a glad user of eclipse.
But I got a little wish.

I'm colorblind (tend to confuse red, green and brown; lightgreen and
yellow) and would like to change the colors of the icons in the outline
window.

In the western world about 5-15% of the male population suffer on the
same disease. I don't know if this is similar for Asia and Africa.

Can I change the icons on my own?

Yes. Go to "Annotations" tab on the Java->Editor preference page (or the
Workbench->Editors->Text Editor page for the text editor). You can
assign the colors for all annotation types yourself, and specify for
most of them where you want them to show up, and how (eclipse 3.0 stream).

Did you say Outline window? Sorry, what I just wrote was about the marks
in the overview (right) and vertical (left) ruler. The icons in the
outline are not changeable over the preferences - but you might be able
to hack this by modifying the icons in

<eclipse install>/plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.ui_3.0.0/icons/

Did you notice that they are all a different shape, too?

Thanks for your hints.
Yes, I noticed, but like to make them obtrusive.
(private: black, public: green, default: blue, protected: yellow) for
instance.

If its 'convenient', you can edit image files in
"eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.ui.ide_3.0.0\icons\"

Yes, Tom pointed this out already, while his path
<eclipse install>/plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.ui_3.0.0/icons/
looks a little more than mine :)
