Eclipse Color Theme makes it possible to switch color themes conveniently and without side effects.

After the installation, go to Window→Preferences→General→Appereance->Color Theme to change the color theme.

Please note:

If you are using a version of the plugin lower than 0.6, please uninstall and reinstall it from the new location. Update site and plugin ID have changed.

You can also download the update site for offline installation.

While Eclipse allows you to change the syntax coloring in great detail, there is no support for managing multiple color themes. It is possible to achieve that by importing and exporting preferences files, but this is inconvenient and likely to mess up your preferences. Furthermore, color themes have to be created for every single editor, a theme for the Java editor does not change the XML, JavaScript or any other editors. This plugin solves these issues by mapping a generic color theme format to specific preferences entries for each supported editor.

ActionScript/MXML (Adobe Flash Builder)
