Editor text Illegible when using a dark theme

[ChrisNava]

I use a dark theme in Eclipse and the default "selected" editor text is white on very light blue. I searched but did not find a setting to override this. Is there one?

Indeed there is no color preferences at all
https://github.com/Mathieuu/CsvEdit/blob/master/csvedit.plugin.ui/src/org/fhsolution/eclipse/plugins/csvedit/customeditor/preferences/PreferenceConstants.java

First step should be find hard coded colors and move them into constants. Then make Preferences.

Help wanted.

I am using a dark theme as well and it does not actually seem that bad anymore in a recent Eclipse version. The background color of the selection is a darker blue (the same that you have in other places in Windows or the browser), so it's actually pretty readable.

The only thing that is not as readable right now is the tooltip that you get when you have a long text in a narrow cell. The tooltip uses light-gray text on a white background.

Before and now it is issue of Eclipse platfrom, and possibly OS widget color cannot be change in a plugin.
