Description Petr Aleksandrov CLA 2014-06-29 07:41:56 EDT 
CDT Outline items are shown in black while dark theme is used. So these items are difficult to read.

OS: Ubuntu Linux x86-64. Eclipse is used with GTK.
Version: Luna Release (4.4.0)
Build id: 20140612-0600

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the dark theme in Eclipse.
2. Open any C++ file in Eclipse with CDT installed and open Outline view.
Expected Results: Text in Outline view is written in light color (may be white).

Hi Petr. Which version of Ubuntu are you using? I'm asking because it will determine which version of GTK Eclipse is using (GTK2 or GTK3) which often affects the appearance.
Comment 3 Petr Aleksandrov CLA 2014-06-29 11:15:18 EDT 
Ubuntu 14.04. GTK oxygen theme.
Now I tried to pass SWT_GTK3=1. The result is shown in the second screenshot.
Comment 4 Petr Aleksandrov CLA 2014-06-29 11:16:40 EDT 
LXQt from PPA lubuntu-dev.

Same issue in Windows and Mac versions.
Comment 7 Csaba Ráduly CLA 2014-11-17 06:14:21 EST 
Same problem with Eclipse Luna Service Release 1 (4.4.1) and CDT 8.5.0.201409172108 on Ubuntu 14.04 and the "MoonRise (Standalone)" Eclipse theme. It is virtually identical to the first screenshot (black on black)
Comment 8 Stephen Wood CLA 2015-01-16 13:41:28 EST 
Also having this issue. Verified that it is caused by inactive code highlighting. It seems the color becomes hard coded when you have inactive code in the editor. The active members are colored in black. Steps to reproduce:
1. Create/open a C file with no inactive code
2. Outline uses all white text for member titles
3. Create a snippet of code in the editor that will be inactive (i.e. wrap one of your members in #if(FALSE)
4. Outline will change all active member title text to black and all inactive members to grey.
Comment 9 Alessandro Fardin CLA 2017-01-09 07:36:51 EST 
This bugs is fixed on eclipse neon 4.6 CDT 9.0
At least with ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04
Comment 10 Nathan Ridge CLA 2017-01-10 00:00:29 EST 
I suspect this was fixed in Neon along with bug 442869. Marking as fixed.
