Eclipse console exception color

This seems simple enough, but I can't seem to find the setting in Eclipse to change this setting.

I prefer my consoles to have dark colors with white text. I leave the print to stderr as the red default.

My problem lies in when I receive an Exception, it's set to a very dark blue, so I can't see the text of it easily without highlighting the link.

I didn't see it in the console preferences, and also do not see it anywhere in the various other setting locations.

Solution

  • Changing the Hyperlink text color will do what you want, but this is used elsewhere in Eclipse so you may want to choose a colour that is reasonably legible on both light and dark backgrounds.
