David,
Back when I ran under Lucid, I was using some brownish theme (under
Gnome), which came by default and had this self-same problem. I solved
it by switching my theme to ClearLooks. I know this all changed somewhat
when Unity came out, but I remember fixing it after I began to use that
as well (I put Unity behind me and run Mint/Cinnamon).
You might Google ClearLooks or just change the theme you use to a
different one.
Also, in Help -> Eclipse Marketplace, there's a plug-in called Eclipse
Color Theme (as I recall) that might be even easier to implement
especially if you don't want to muck with your system-wide desktop.
Best of luck.

It's worked very well for me on Ubuntu, Mint (which is Ubuntu corrected)
and Fedora. Hard for me to speculate as to why it doesn't for you. I
hope you can find a solution, my friend. Best of luck to you!
