Unwanted Highlight in Dark Theme [message #1751570]

Hi everyone!

As I installed Eclipse again not too long ago for work, I imported my project and started working on it when this problem just appeared.

I get several white highlights on several parts of my code which I did not highlight manually.
Furthermore, I can't work on my code because everything I write becomes highlighted in white.

I searched for half a day but couldn't find anything specific to my problem.

Any hints is highly welcomed!

Regards,

Jeff

You are being shown inactive code.. The expression in the #if is being evaluated false.
To change the color:
Window --> Preferences --> C/C++ --> Editor.
In the Appearance color options box, select Inactive code highlight then set the color.

You can turn it off completely by unchecking Highlight Inactive code shown at the top of the first image.
