I've installed Eclipse 4.6 (Nova M1) on linux/64.
I launch it with GTK3
My desktop env is KDE with Plasma5.
The default KDE theme is 'Breeze'.
I've installed the 'gnome-breeze' (
https://github.com/dirruk1/gnome-breeze.git) lookalike themes,
ls /home/johna/.themes
Breeze-dark-gtk
Breeze-gtk
And I configured so that gtk-3.0 uses it by default
grep theme-name /home/johhn/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
gtk-theme-name=Breeze-gtk
When I launch Eclipse, the IDE itself uses that theme, like you'd expect. So the menus, toolbars, scrollbars, icons, etc are all from Breeze-gtk.
I can override EDITOR colors/themes, and some widgets backgrounds, from within Eclipse preferences. For example, I use AptanaStudio3 plugin, and import my favorite TextMate themes; all (well, a couple of glitches atm) editor context formatting follows that TM theme.
I want to edit the look & feel of the IDE.
Since GTK3 is no longer using theme-engine themes, but pure CSS, the override mechanism is to override the theme original CSS in
/usr/share/themes/BreezeGTK/gtk-3.0/*.css
(1) For GTK3, where do the overrides *go*?
In
/home/johhn/.config/gtk-3.0/*.css
(2) What's the usage for overriding the CSS for *just* eclipse?
IIUC, since theming is no longer using rc file format, the old GTK2 method
SWT_GTK3=0 GTK2_RC_FILES=/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:/home/johna/.gtkrc-2.0:/home/johns/.gtkrc-2.0-eclipse eclipse
won't work.
How & where do we theme eclipse-specific GTK3?
