Cool tip of the day: Come the Dark side! ... Eclipse Theme colours

After some eye dazling hours working with the standard black on white editor in Eclipse and witnessing the relativly calm appearance of Visual Studios Dark theme I decided to see if I could do the same with eclipse.
I discovered that it is relativly straight forwards and lots of otherpeople think the same way. I have included links to the plugins you need and a list of the other blogs and posts that will be helpfull should you go over to the dark side!

1. Download the ‘Dark Juno’ theme 
https://github.com/rogerdudler/eclipse-ui-themes.
This will change the color of all eclipse view and toolbars to a dark theme. However we still have to change the color theme of the editor.

2. Get the Eclipse Color Themes plugin
   http://www.eclipsecolorthemes.org/
   Install a dark theme for the editor from there.
   I like the Retta theme but its your choice.

And that should be it!

The other references are:

• Dark Eclipse theme
• Jean-Baptiste Onofré's Blog - Change tab font in Eclipse Juno ... You can control the appearance of the UI using CSS .... not for the faint hearted.
• Eclipse Moonrise UI Theme 0.8.8 a very nice plugin that unfortunatly does not appear to work on a Mac or with Juno.
