Eclipse CDT is a powerful integrated development environment for developing C and C++ applications. By default, the background of Eclipse CDT's code hover prompt window is white, but some developers prefer to use a black background because it is more comfortable for long periods of coding. In the following article, I will show you how to configure Eclipse CDT's code floating prompt window background to be black on Ubuntu.
Step 1: Open Eclipse CDT
First, open Eclipse CDT. If you haven't installed it yet, use the following command to install Eclipse CDT on Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install eclipse-cdt
Step 2: Open Preferences
Once Eclipse CDT opens, click "Window" in the top menu bar and select "Preferences". This will open the Eclipse CDT preferences dialog.
Step 3: Navigate to the "C/C++" option
In the Preferences dialog box, expand the "C/C++" option. Then, click on the "Editor" sub-option.
Step 4: Modify the background color of the code floating prompt window
In the editor options, you can find the "Appearance" section. In this section you can change the background color of the code hover window.
Hover over the "Background color" option and click the color picker icon next to it. This will open a color picker dialog.
In the color picker dialog box, select black as the background color of the code hover window. You can select black using the slider or manually entering RGB values.
Step 5: Apply changes and close preferences
Once you have selected black as the background color for the Code Hover window, click the "Apply and Close" button at the bottom of the dialog box. This will apply your changes and close the Preferences dialog box.
Now, you should see that the background of the Eclipse CDT code hover prompt window has changed to black.
In this way, you have successfully configured the background of the code floating prompt window of Eclipse CDT to be black on Ubuntu. This will provide you with a more comfortable coding experience. Hope this article helps you!
