Hi all,  
I’m using the Dark Mode in eclipse and everything works fine but the CSS editor:  
[attachment=0]css appearance problem.PNG[/attachment]

As you can see from the picture above, the CSS class properties are very hard to read.

I don’t understand how to change this set of colors.

Anybody knows how to do that?

Thank you for your time

Marco

Hi,

I attached a preferences file which makes it readable in the dark theme on the wiki [https://wiki.servoy.com/display/DOCS/De … and+Themes](https://wiki.servoy.com/display/DOCS/Developer+Configuration+and+Themes)  
in section **1C. Default Dark Theme Preferences for the CSS Editor**  
The forum did not allow me to attach it here.  
To make the CSS editor readable in the dark theme, you need to import the css\_editor\_preferences.epf preferences file into the developer as described on the page.  
As far as I see the CSS Editor cannot be configured in the UI from Window → Preferences like the Script Editor, the only way is to import a preferences file.
