Dark Theme issues in Windows [message #1842682]

I'm experiencing issues with the dark theme in windows. I'm on Windows 10 and the eclipse version is:
Version: 2021-06 (4.20.0)
Build id: 20210612-2011

The problem is the colors in the menus and the projects. Here is an example with the menus:
index.php/fa/40703/0/

Is anyone else experiencing this or am I doing something wrong? Also, yes, I have restarted eclipse, and this problem with the colors persists.

Dark theme has always had problems.
Partly (I think) has to do with the way Eclipse inherits colors from SWT.

Sometime around 2019-09 the CDT dark theme colors were revamped.
And became worse IMO.

I have been using Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle
from the Eclipse Marketplace with 2021-03
Haven't tried it with 2021-06.

Took some getting used to though
You might want to try it.
