Properties editor is hard readable

[sotirov]

Hi all,

I'm using Eclipse Oxygen for my JavaEE projects. When I tried Jboss Tolls Properties Editor for my .properties files I found that the text is very hard to read. It is black foreground on dark-grey background. Here is a screenshot:

I searched in the options to change the font's color, but with no success.

Could you please tell me how I can resolve this issue? Thank you in advance.

Here is eclipse version:

Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.

Version: Oxygen.3a Release (4.7.3a)

Build id: 20180405-1200

I'm using the eclipse build in dark theme.

Here is Jboss version:

Hibernate Tools    5.2.3.v20180412-1747

Can you check if this still happens with Eclipse 4.8 instead of Eclipse 4.7.3a? Lots of color fixes have been added since Oxygen, and were not backported.

Here are the latest JBoss Tools builds, based on Eclipse 4.8 / Photon:

http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/photon/snapshots/updates/

Note that JBoss Tools 4.6.0.AM2 should be released later today or tomorrow, based on Photon.0.M7 / Eclipse 4.8.0.M7.

In a week, the snapshot site will be updated to use Photon.0.RC3 / Eclipse 4.8.0.RC3 as we prepare for 4.6.0.AM3.

You can find the latest Photon EPP packages here:

Hi nickboldt, thank you for your message. I will let you know after Eclipse 4.8 release whether my issue is solved or not.

Hi nickboldt, I've installed the RC of Eclipse Photon and jbosstoll from the links you provide and everything looks very good.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Hi nickboldt, this issue returned again with the latest eclipse version 2019-09. Could you please tell me how we can fix this?
