Change overview ruler color in Eclipse
colors, eclipse, settings
Solution
I have the same problem as Michal - this seems to be non-customisable.
I have trouble seeing some of the annotation marks in the overview ruler due to Vista's lighter colouring. You can change the colour of the marks, but the bar itself doesn't change colour.
It looks like the only way to change it is to change the system colours for all windows.
Problem
How to change overview rule background color in Eclipse 3.4.0.I20080617-2000 (vertical bar on right of editing window with some annotations) ? General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations allows only to change colors of marks itself not background of whole bar. It looks like my web searching skills are getting weaker since I cannot find it anywhere ...
