A simple plugin for finding and applying editor color themes in the Eclipse IDE.
This project started when the original eclipsecolorthemes.org website went offline. To help the community, I built a new, modern, open-source alternative: eclipse-color-themes.vercel.app.
I then realized the old plugin was also outdated, so I decided to build this one to provide a simple, direct way to use the themes from the new site.
- Dozens of popular themes included right out of the box.
- A link to download hundreds more from the community collection.
- A clean preference page with a live preview for your code.
- Import support for your own favorite
.xmltheme files. - Syntax highlighting support for Java, C++, XML, and more via an adapter system.
- Go to
Help -> Eclipse Marketplace.... - Search for
Eclipse Themes. - Click Install.
- Go to
Help -> Install New Software.... - Click Add... and enter the URL:
https://ahatem.github.io/eclipse-themes-plugin/ - Give it a name (like
Eclipse Themes) and complete the installation.
- Go to
Window -> Preferences(orEclipse -> Settings...on macOS). - Navigate to
General -> Appearance -> Eclipse Themes. - Pick a theme from the list to see how it looks.
- Click Apply and Close to set your new editor theme.
Eclipse Themes is free and open source. If it improves your daily setup, support helps with compatibility fixes, maintenance, and new releases.
Contributions are always welcome! The best way to help is to add a new theme to the collection.

- This project wouldn't exist without the original Eclipse Color Theme plugin.
- I also learned a lot from the clean architecture of the BetterThemes project by TheKodeToad.
- And a huge thank you to everyone who has created and shared a theme with the community.
