There is no obvious way to change workbench foreground and background colours. 
 
It would be extremely helpful for me if these could be changed, as I find black text on a 
white background gives me severe eyestrain - I'm sure I'm not alone in this.  
 
It would be nice if Window -> Preferences -> Workbench -> Appearence had widgets 
for 'foreground' and 'background' in addition to the existing widgets for 'error', 'hyperlink' 
and 'active hyperlink' colours. A dialog which made it possible to change the overall 
colourscheme of the GUI would be even nicer, but I would be happy just being able to 
change the foreground and background.
