I have been setting a different colour scheme for my console. When I restart Eclipse, console background changes to default colour WHITE. When I check the preferences, it shows the colours I had selected before restart. To change the white background to the one I had select, I have to change the colour to different one and then have to select the old one again. Its annoying to do on every restart. Can someone please help? - Ash
Works fine for me using R3.8: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.8-201206081200/ R4.2: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.2-201206081400/ with these steps: 1. start new workspace 2. on Run/Debug > Console change text and background color 3. paste the following snippet into the 'Package Explorer': --- %< --- class A { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("works just fine"); } } --- %< --- 4. run it ==> colors as expected 5. exit 6. start with previous workspace 7. run the snippet ==> colors as set in step 2.
OK, I can reproduce the bug: if I close the Console before I exit, then the first time the Console open, it has the wrong background color. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 278529 ***
