Eclipse dark theme highlight issue

I found the best thing to do is to go into GWindows -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Annotations and change everything from Highlighted to Underlined and choose the underline color to suit.

Here's what worked for me:

1. Open Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Annotations
2. Select "Occurrences (PyDev)." The "Text as" drop down box on the right should read "Highlighted," and the color is very light.
3. Click the color button and change it to something easier on the eyes.

Open Window>Preferences>General>Editors>Text Editors>Annotations

Modify the color for "PHP elements 'read' occurrences" and "PHP elements 'write' occurrences". Obviously I'm using eclipse PHP but you should see similar options in the annotations list for non-PHP eclipse.

Open Windows>Preferences>General>Editors>Text Editors

Browse Appearance color options Select background color options, uncheck default, change to colour of choice
