Hi all,
As part of my editor plug-in, I'd like to provide the ability to mimmick the
old terminal/console type editors - the ones that often have a black
background and green text.
By default, it seems that all code editors in Eclipse have a regular white
background. I'm hoping that, if I go deep enough down to the associated SWT
components I can do some sort of "setBackground( new RGB( 0, 0, 0 ) );"
call.
Is this possible?
If so, I'm a bit lost as to what sort of interface reference I'm looking
for - what type of SWT widget, and where from?
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Jack

In your subclass of (I assume) AbstractTextEditor, make sure you pass an
IPreferenceStore with the appropriate values for
AbstractTextEditor.PREFERENCE_COLOR_BACKGROUND_SYSTEM_DEFAUL T and
AbstractTextEditor.PREFERENCE_COLOR_BACKGROUND.

Thanks for the information - appreciated.
Courtesy of the great documentation took me several attempts to get it to
understand the colour I wanted. Temporarily turning every single source code
editor black... genius :-)
