Wrong font on Eclipse Juno Editor Tabs [message #892431]

I use Eclipse on Ubuntu 12.04 with KDE and the QtCurve theme which should apply all KDE style settings to GTK applications.

This works fine with Eclipse Indigo, but not with Eclipse Juno.

My standard font is Droid Sans 9 which is picked up by all widgets except the label on editor and view tabs, e.g. Project Explorer, which still looks like Sans 12.

Any ideas how to change this?

Best regards,
Harald

OK, I've found the answer here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse4/CSS.

I've installed the E4 CSS editor, and changed the font-size and font-family on .MPartStack to reduce my editor tabs to a reasonable size.

But there must be a better solution...

Nope, that's it. We're working on the usability of modifying the CSS in 4.3

The CSS should be complete and consistent out of the box. Users
shouldn't be expected to modify the CSS in order for Eclipse to be usable.

Harald and Paul have answered to this, but just to give clarification.

There is dot in the link. This one goes right to the solution Smile

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse4/CSS

Without instaling the editor, just edit this file:

eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.platform_4.2.0.v201206081400/css/e4_default_gtk.css

This is the par ot the file to edit:

.MPartStack {
	font-size: 11;
	swt-simple: false;
	swt-mru-visible: false;
}

I've changed font-size to "9" and it looks much better now. I am using Ubuntu and also prefer smaller fonts than default settings.

Did anyone even test the Juno release on KDE? It looks absolutely terrible. What's with all of the white backgrounds and the stupid toolbar shading?

Switch to the classic theme if you don't like the new one.
