As a Java developer I use Eclipse IDE everyday. It’s been almost ~12 years I started working on Java and Eclipse. Personally and professionally I love building high scale Java Enterprise softwares.
To be honest, I never used color theme in Eclipse before until recently I saw it on one of my colleagues macbook. I looked from little far and it was amazing, the theme he chose was saw pleasant to eye.
If you need to change certain settings of the selected scheme, create its copy. To do that, click the Manage, then Save as button, and type the new scheme name. Under the Colors and Fonts node, change the font families used in the editor and in the console: Define font family for the editor and console.
So far I have performed so many Eclipse optimization like increase memory usage in Eclipse, configure Bitbucket and Eclipse, etc. But last week I tried installing Eclipse color theme at my end and so far loving it.
