Created attachment 264296 [details] Screenshot of the icons. I try to explain the problem I am having with Eclipse: Well, as shown in my attached screenshot all Icons seems to be enabled. But normally some Icons are disabled. For Example: When the Debugger is in running, you cannot press the resume button, but the resume button and the Stop button appear like an enabled button. Nevertheless just one of them is clickable. So in summary eclipses logic behind the Icons is working, but eclipse does not change the visual style of a button, when it is disabled (not clickable). I had already a Diskussion at askUbuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/822104/eclipse-neon-icons-are-not-disabled?noredirect=1#comment1249546_822104 Further information: Eclipse Version: Eclipse Neon Ubuntu Version: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Java Version: Java 8 (openjdk) What I have already tried to do: I tried using Eclipse Mars. But is has the same behavior than Neon. I tried using Eclipse Luna. This works pretty fine. All disabled buttons are grayed out!!
Thanks for reporting. Could you please tell us which GTK version are you running in your ubuntu?
Hello Patrik, I am not sure how to find out my gtk version. But I know that I have installed libgtk2.0-0 with version 2.24.30-1ubuntu1 and libgtk-3-0 with version 3.18.9-1ubuntu3.1.

Here is explained how to check which version is using Eclipse: https://coffeeorientedprogramming.com/2014/10/27/how-to-tell-if-you-are-running-eclipse-on-gtk2-or-on-gtk3/ Then, as general rule: With Eclipse Neon (4.6) and higher, I suggest you using GTK 3 Until Eclipse Mars.2 (4.5.2) you're suggested to use GTK 2 You can force Eclipse using GTK2 or GTK3, by exporting a variable. # GTK 3 export SWT_GTK3=1 eclipse # GTK 2 export SWT_GTK3=0 eclipse Please, check which version is using Eclipse. Then, if needed, force the proper GTK version.
Hello Patrik, . My eclipse was using gtk version 3.18.9. What I did now: $cd myEclipseFolder $export SWT_GTK3=0 $./eclipse The result was an eclipse with an old style and with disabled buttons. So it looks like an outdated version, but the right Icons are looking disabled. :-) Then I did: $cd myEclipseFolder $export SWT_GTK3=1 $./eclipse The result was an eclipse as shown in my screen shot within my first bugPost here. All icons are looking now enabled again, even if they are disabled.
Ok, thanks. Could you please tell me which version of Eclipse are you using? Is it a clean version of Eclipse or did you install extra plug-ins?
I used a clean Version of Eclipse. I simply downloaded and executed the following versions: Eclipse Luna SR2 IDE for C/C++ Developers for Linux 64bit. Release 2 (4.4.2) Eclipse Neon IDE for C/C++ Developers for Linux 64bit. 1 Release (4.6.1) Off topic note: Yes, in the Help>About window, it says "1 Release" in the Neon Version and "Release 2" in the Luna Version." Is this a Typo or is this a new spelling format?
