Change highlight color for fields in Eclipse

Question

I'm using Eclipse EE Neon (4.6.3) and would like to know how to change the highlight color in the Find field ; right now it's the same as the background and it is complicated to edit the searched string. I'm guessing this is only a problem in the default dark theme, which I'm using. I looked at other answers but they were about changing other colors such as the highlight of search results .

Answer 1

Using the Darkest Dark plugin from the Eclipse Marketplace solved this issue for me; it differentiates the selection in the search field unlike the Eclipse default dark theme at that time.

Maybe the newer Eclipse versions have a dark theme without this problem, but I haven't checked.
