How to set color of selected member in code completion dialog. [message #166010]

Code completion (Ctrl+space) show a list of members of an object.
It seems like the color scheme in Eclipse 30 has changed.
Somehow I do not see the selected member anymore, for example when I click
on a member I cannot see which member I selected.
is there a way I can change the color of a selected member ?

We have the same problem here. M9 was fine,
the release version shows popup dialogs (like code completion)
with white background, black text for selected and unselected items.
Very hard to work with :-)

Some background:
SuSe Linux 9.0,
on KDE: bug appears always, don't know where eclipse ? (JDT ? SWT ?)
get's the color info from
on Gnome: in most themes ok, but in one case we found the
same bug.

My configuration is KDE3.2, Mandrake 10.0, Eclipse 3.0 GTK.
No matter which theme I select under System > KDE > LookandFeel > Color the
selected line is not visible, i.e has same color as background color.
I don't know where Eclipse (SWT) gets it's color scheme from.

Installing the gnome control center was indeed the solution.  Using it,
I changed the GTK theme which fixed the problem we were having.  Be
aware though that installing the gnome-control-center will cause many
other packages to be installed as well.
