View Full Version : [ubuntu] customise colors for one application only

I was wondering if it is possible to specify a custom color theme that Ubuntu should apply to one application only. Specifically, I want to customise the tooltop color for Eclipse.

Fwiw, the reason I want to do this is that karmic's ambiance theme provides black tooltip backgrounds with white tooltop text, but eclipse (stupidly) uses the black tooltip background for content assist boxes while ignoring the tooptip text color and instead applying its own sytnax highlighting rules, which specify black text. This results in black text on a black background -- ugh!

You can do it in gnome-color-chooser(in the specific tab) but only globally.
Try changing the background colour and see if it changes in eclpise.
