Requirements
- Eclipse 4.2+
Installation
Eclipse Marketplace:
← Drag this button to your Eclipse workbench to install; Update site:
Or download this plugin by using
Help > Install New Software...
and add the update site:Manual:
Or download moonrise_0.8.9.jar package and put it into your Eclipse
dropinsplugins
folder;Restart Eclipse and go to
Window > Preferences > General > Appearance
;Select MoonRise (standalone) or, for a little better tabs decoration, install Eclipse 4 Chrome Theme from marketplace or from here and select MoonRise;
Rest your eyes ;)
Syntax highlighting scheme:
You can find the one used in the screenshot here:
RainbowDrops.epf (most accurate and with wider support for plugins, download and import it with Eclipse built-in Preferences import:
File > Import...
then selectGeneral > Preferences
);or RainbowDrops.xml (download and import it with Eclipse Color Theme Plugin);
or here;
Fine-tuning:
There are some settings that can be changed only from the Eclipse Preferences window and that override the theme's settings by default:
Change the colors for Content Assist:
Go to
Window > Preferences > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts
then change the colors forBasic > Content Assist background color
andBasic > Content Assist foreground color
(eg. foreground color: #DDD, background color: #333);Change the colors for Console:
Go to
Window > Preferences > Run/Debug > Console
and modify the colors as you like (eg. Standard Out text color: #DDD, Background color: #333);Change the colors for Javadoc:
Go to
Window > Preferences > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts
then change the colors forJava > Javadoc view background
. Note that the foreground color cannot be changed and depends on system font color.
Trouble-shooting:
Problem | Solution |
---|---|
The font of the title of the tabs is different | Ensure that on your machine is installed Segoe Print font then open the downloaded jar package with an archive explorer, open /themes/css/moonrise-ui-standalone.css , search for any occurrencies of font-family property and change its value to Segoe Print (or what ever you prefer), then save/update the jar archive. |
The size of the title of the tabs is different | Eclipse does not scale it with a DPI-Aware policy. Open the jar package downloaded with a file archiver, open /themes/css/moonrise-ui-standalone.css , search for font-size property and modify its value according to your needs. |
The label of the checkboxes has a color difficult to read | It's related to a SWT bug, use a system theme that has lighter font color for buttons. |
The text of the buttons has a color difficult to read (MAC-OSX) | It's related to a SWT bug, try this 'patched' version if you have this issue (no more needed for v0.8.4+). |
After updating the plugin, it isn't loaded as expected | Eclipse seems to use some sorts of internal resources caching that don't work always very well. To ensure that it's not an issue related to the new plugin version, create a new workspace and import your projects here, or try with a freshly downloaded Eclipse release. |
Notes:
Currently this theme uses the CSS-SWT engine introduced in the 4.2 version of the Eclipse Platform and should provide a dark style for each GUI widget that can be handled with the last version of the Eclipse SDK. This plugin has been tested with the main Eclipse Development Tool packages on Linux distributions, Windows and OSX and with the following Eclipse releases:
- Luna (4.4)
- Kepler (4.3.x)
- Juno (4.2.x)
It works best with a dark system theme since currently the look of some GUI widgets cannot be overriden directly in Eclipse. The more noticeable issues related to SWT are the ScrollBar
widgets, the Table
headers/lines and the arrows to fold/unfold contents that cannot be styled. As minor issues there are Button
background color on Windows and OSX that cannot be customized (on Windows checkboxes/radio controls do not inherit font color) and some other little bugs related to the CSS engine that makes the customizations harder and unwieldy. Aside from that, the theme currently might not look perfect on each platform, but should be fully useable on all of them. The Eclipse CSS engine is still under improvement.

Question or issue on macOS:
I have Eclipse (Kepler) installed on OS X and updated recently to Maverick. Since then I didn’t start Eclipse. Yesterday I did and it told me that there are update available. I installed them, with the result that Eclipse didn’t remember to have a perspective for PyDev.
I uninstalled PyDev, reinstalled it and since then it doesn’t even appear in the preferences. I can uninstall it again, meaning Eclipse knows it is there, but there is simply no way to configure it.
Today I trashed the whole Eclipse, downloaded a fresh one and installed PyDev via the update site… Same story!
Has anybody the same problem on OS X?
Cheers, Tom
How to solve this problem?
Solution no. 1:
I’ve seen this on Windows 7, after a recent update to Eclipse Kepler and PyDev 3.0.x. The PyDev site states that the latest PyDev requires Java 7. If you don’t have Java 7, use PyDev 2. (http://pydev.org/, under the “Release 3.0″ title”). I’m using Java 6 to launch Eclipse.
I would check the versions of Java and PyDev you’re running.
Solution no. 2:
Eclipse Kepler Download For Mac Os
Not enough rep to comment on Gerry Kuhn’s answer so I’ll make a new one.
You can install java7 but retain your current version and not affect your current set up by specifying which JVM Eclipse should use using the command line -vm option.
Solution no. 3:
Same problem on my Mac here with
Eclipse Version: Kepler Service Release 1
PyDev 3.0.0.201311051910 org.python.pydev.feature.feature.group
solved by using 2.x version
just download zip here and extracted folder in the dropin directory and restart is ok now
Thanks
Solution no. 4:
I solved this problem by changing the eclipse.ini file.
I changed from this value
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
Kepler Eclipse Download For Windows
to this value.
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7
Eclipse Kepler Download For Mac Full
But of course you must have jdk 7 installed previously.
