Question

Is there a way (I\'ll settle for a hack) to make the code-folding gutter in Eclipse render with a black background? I\'m clinging to TextMate as my main editor but would rea

Answer 1

I found a nice work around until this is fixed. First disable folding by default (preferences->C++->Editor->Folding) for new editors.

Then, whenever you open a new editor the folding 'column' wont be available. Now, open a new editor, Right-click on the far left of the text (the line numbers if they're enabled) and select 'enable folding' (or press Ctrl + /).

Then, anything that is to be folded by default will be folded and the folding +'s and -'s will be available on the dark background - no color glitches.

Answer 2

After you change the background color of the editor, disable then re-enable code folding and click apply this seems to fix the color problem however keeps that ugly white line separator.
