Hi, i installed wyeclipse 8.6 on linux (ubuntu)

All works great but I have a nagging problem.
When I hover the mouse over a variable while debugging, the whole window is black.

I tried to modify the background colors in the preference window, but I haven’t been able to fix this.

In windows everything looks great

anrange,

Can you answer few queries –
1. Open MyEclipse IDE, from menu options click on MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details
2. Also copy and paste build and version-id from Help > About MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench
In case the version and build-id are not as below
Version: 8.6
Build id: 8.6-20100806
Please open MyEclipse Configuration Center. Goto Dashboard tab. Apply the updates. This will open a wizard which will guide you through the rest of the steps. When prompted, please choose to restart the IDE.
3. Can you attach a screenshot of the issue you are facing and include the steps in detail to reproduce this issue? This will help me get a visual. You can either [pm] the screenshot or send a mail to support[at]myeclipseide[dot]com. Please add ATTN:Joy in the subject and add the weblink as reference.

anrange,

Could you please tell me what you were trying to debug? Java / JSP / JavaScript? “Hover a mouse over a variable” – I assume you are talking about a variable in an editor? In that case, which editor?
Are you using Ubuntu 10.04 – it introduced a black theme which caused a few issues, though those should really be fixed at this time.

If you are using 10.04, here are a few changes that you may need to make to Ubuntu to resolve this for now. Do let us know if you manage to resolve the problem as we would like to make sure these steps are not required in future MyEclipse versions.

WORKAROUND 1:
1. Right click on Desktop and choose Desktop Background
2. Select Themes > Customize
3. Click on the Background Color button for Tooltips
4. Manually edit the color name to “#F1F1E0”
5. The default “text” color for “Tooltips” is black and just leave it at that.
6. Restart MyEclipse and now the content assist details should be clearly
visible and easily readable.

WORKAROUND 2:
If the above setting does not work, reset the color and font settings to the
settings of the previous Ubuntu version, 9.10, Karmic Koala, mentioned below:

Defaults on Karmic Koala:
1. Tooltip
bkg – #F5F5B5, text – #000000

2. Windows
bkg – #E6DDD5, text – #101010

3. Input Boxes
bkg – #FFFFFF, text – #1A1A1A

4. Selected Items
bkg – #8F5F4A, text – #FFFFFF

Hi,
I do have ubuntu 10.04
The workaround 1 worked perfectly
Thanks

anrange,

Thanks for replying, I’m glad the workaround worked. Could you still tell me what editor you had this problem in?

Thanks!

[Andres]

java editor and the jsp editor.

[Brian Fernandes]

Thanks, will make sure this is fixed in MyEclipse 9, without needing the manual workaround.
