PHPEclipse weird highlight

Question

This is not a technical problem, but very annoying.

Does anyone know how to turn off or change the color for the name highlight in phpEclipse?

I use white-on-black scheme and this highlight has a white background which makes it unreadable and very ugly.

To better explain which highlight I'm refering to, it's when I move the cursor to a variable/function/method/constant, all other places that name is typed get highlighted.

I've spent a few days going thru the settings many, many times and I haven't found one that changes that specific annoying highligh.

Anyone? please? :)

Answer 1

From Eclipse, go to Window > Preference, use the filter field ("type filter text") to search for "color". It will show all the config options related to the colors.

I suppose it's not a problem with phpEclipse, but an incompatibility with another Eclipse plugin.

PS: When you fix the problem please tell us what that setting!

Answer 2

For Java in Eclipse it is:

Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Mark Occurrences.

My ruby plug-in has the same option. Do a search in the preferences window for 'Mark Occurrences' and hopefully the php plug-in has the same option.

Answer 3

Thanks, that was it, Mark Occurences.

When I searched thru the options I was looking for color pickers instead of checkboxes :)

It would be nicer to be able to change the highlight color for that, but even removing it is of huge help.
