    I like using a black background in my GUIs. I find it easier on my eyes. That said, there is a shortcoming in the way MyEclipse highlights in a black background. For 99% of all items you can select a foreground and background color. the 1% are the ‘=’ and ‘ ” ‘ used in HTML tags. try setting your background to black and adjust any other formatting property you can find and you will see the ‘=’ no longer be visible, because the text is the same color as the background and MyEclipse does not offer a way to change this specific item.
    Use this line as an example.

    <link REL=”STYLESHEET” HREF=”<%=sStyleSheet%>” TYPE=”text/css”>

    I’ve tried changing the color of the default text used in all of Eclipse, but Eclipse won’t let me change the color, only the style.

    A simple option to highlight “other” would be sufficient. Thanks.
