I’ve set my background color to black for the default editor in MyEclipse. I’m able to make all the syntax types readable except for ‘=’ in JSP and HTML file types. It seems there is not a way to control the color of these or the editor is defaulting to the windows color scheme and thus they are not readable if the background color is black.

Am I missing something or is this a defect?

This is an open enhancement request (it requires some non-trivial changes to the partitioner and parser to support coloring of the operators independently of how they aer done now).

Could you give this a high priority? I did a search and several people have noticed this. It makes the product less accessible.

It makes the product less accessible.

I agree, in the mean time maybe a dark green color would work?

I’ll bump the priority.

I found a way to change the equal sign color…..

Search the following files:
xmlsourcecolors.xml – For XML
jspsourcecolors.xml – For JSP
htmlsourcecolors.xml – For HTML

Open them in any text editor.

See if there is a line with the tag name like this:
<color name=”tagAttributeEquals”/>

All you have to do is add the foreground and the background like the rest of the tags have.

Restart Eclipse and there you go.

BTW, I am using MyEclipse 3.8.2.
