Changing Color of Eclipse Links in Quick Fix or Eclipse Links in Preferences on Linux

How do I change hyperlink colors in Eclipse on a Windows 7 machine?

Turns out it is a Windows system setting. The answer is actually contained in this question but for Windows XP.

To change in Windows 7:
Control Panel -> Display -> Personalization (lower left corner) -> Window Color (bottom middle) -> Advanced appearance settings -> In the Item dropdown choose Hyperlink then choose the color you want. I went with cyan, much better!

Is there a way to change some special GUI colors in eclipse?

Ok. Found the solution for my problem on following site:

Mars is the first eclipse version which uses GTK3 (instead of GTK2 like eclipse versions before 4.5). And on the side above Andrey Loskutov wrotes that may be also the GTK theme (widget style) can be also the problem. The Widget style "oxygen-gtk" should be extremly buggy! After changing the widget style (to now "Adwaida") the problems are gone :-)

You can change the Widget style in KDE by opening in the KDE settings: "Application Appearance" and "GTK+ Appearance".

Change Eclipse's tooltip/hint/sugestions/overlay window color

When I asked this question I was using Eclipse Luna and never found a solution for this problem.

More recently I changed to Eclipse Neon and this problem never occurred.
