Java editor mark occurrences colour [message #200070]

I'm using 3.2.2 on Linux and the Mark-occurrences marks in the right-hand margin
of my java editor are really poorly visible.

Is it possible in any way to change the colour that is used for the marks?

Thanks
Adam

Hi Adam,

you can only change the color for the occurrence marking inside the
editor (General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations). The color in
the overview ruler is computed from that color.

That is fine, it stands out alot more in the overview ruler with a darker colour.

Thanks alot

I spoke too soon - the dark color makes it stand out in the overview ruler much
better, but it stands out a mile too far in the actual code.

I think the solution here is to set the highlighting to 'squiggles' instead of
proper highlighting, then it won't destroy the visual structure of the code.

This is a difficult one - lots of compromise while putting the editor and the
overview ruler and all that functionality in place.

I assume that the idea of having a completely independently configurable color
in the overview ruler was thought to add too much configurability?
