Tau build (old build also) + mouse hovers   
Hi All,
Current eclipse and Momentics are bit annoying to me.
I use custom background and frontground colors for editor.
My background is black and frontground is white.

When i take mouse over some structure/function, hovers display the details (declaration/definition) of that particular 
token. The problem is, hovers does take the frontground color but keep the background to yellowish (some color), this 
makes white on yellow unreadable hovers.

Is there any way to overcome this. any solutions.

Thanks
Prem

Well, you could modify the SWT source for your host, and change the balloon color.  SWT defaults to the system colors 
for stuff like the balloons.  If you are on Linux, you may be able to make a gtkrc file that only changes the color for 
Eclipse applications.  If you are on windows, you'll have to change the SWT code.

Just so we are clear, do you see the white forground for only the functions that you have written?  Or do you see the 
problem if you hover over printf?  I tried a small example here, and I see a problem when I hover over the main function
, but not when I hover over printf.

Thanks for the help, but i am an illiterate in gtkrc config options and compiling SWT (didin't had success, bails out 
with error).

Could you please post an example gtkrc which just changes bg color of hovers, It would be helpful to other users as well
.

And the problem as you said is while pointed on a local/workspace based function and printf though the color is 'black 
on yellow' it only shows function with an '#define printf ....', whereas i was expecting 'int printf(fmt, ...)'

Actually, we are limited by Eclipse bug #199255. As soon as they fix it, 
the feature (selection of hovering colors) will be available.

I'll see if I can hack an SWT for you.  I'll let you know if I get something.

Please give this SWT a try.  It should replace the pop up background with a dark orange color. 

BACK UP YOUR ORIGINAL.  This may not work.

Re: Tau build (old build also) + mouse hovers   
Hi,
Thanks for the swt hack, its much better now.
There is a problem still annoying me (as you said earlier this hover doesn't seems to apply to functions like printf/
fprintf)
Now i can see all the functions belonging to project in black background/white fg and orange border (very nice).
But fprintf/printf are just a black window with orange border. the characters can be only viewed when i select the 
entire window contents after pressing F2.
There is something fundamentally wrong with hovers. It should obey the fg/bg of the customized workspace.

Can you post a picture of what you are seeing? 

Thanks,

This is very weird.  There shouldn't be any black in your popup at all.  Are you using a special KDE theme at all?  At 
you using a qt2gtk conversion theme at all?  The popup should be completely orange.
