Changing the look and feel of Eclipse on Ubuntu 10.04...
Problems:
1. Eclipse defaults to a white background. We need themes.
2. It has unbelievably large tabs on the top... are they taking some tips from the IE behemoth? No... its just does not play well with Linux.
Solutions:
1. Open Help -> Eclipse Marketplace. Search for "theme" and install Eclipse Color Theme. Once installed and restarted, go to Window -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Color theme.... pick a color theme you like and rejoice.
2. On the terminal, say "gedit ~/.gtkrc-2.0" and in the resulting window, type....
style "compact-toolbar"
{
GtkToolbar::internal-padding = 0
xthickness = 1
ythickness = 1
}
style "compact-button"
{
xthickness = 0
ythickness = 0
}
class "GtkToolbar" style "compact-toolbar"
widget_class "*<GtkToolbar>*<GtkButton>" style "compact-button"
Save and restart Eclipse. The tabs should now be smaller. You are welcome.
