Cursor color in Eclipse 3.5/Zend Studio 7 on Mac OS X

Does any of you have a clue on how to change the cursor color in Zend Studio 7.0 on Mac OS X?

I am asking because I really fancy dark colored themes. After a few hours I managed to port my favorite theme from TextMate.app. However my cursor is still black, which is somehow troublesome.

As you can see here - http://twitpic.com/f7ywc - the cursor becomes pretty invisible, right?

Please help me out here. Btw - anyone interested in the theme?

All the best

Solution

  • I love TextMate and its twilight theme, so this issue is dear to me. I think Eclipse for Mac just can't set the caret color due to an SWT bug.

    In the meantime, you can enable line highlighting to make just the current line have a slightly lighter background. This worked for me:

    1. Open Preferences and go to General -> Editors -> Text Editors
    2. Check "Highlight current line"
    3. In the scrolling list at the bottom, set "Current line highlight" to a medium-dark gray.
