Eclipse Hover Color in Gnome

The default colour for eclipse tooltips is pretty unreadable (light-green on grey). As mentioned in this post, you can edit the css or you can just use the gnome-color-chooser tool. Here's how you do it:


1. Install the gnome-color-chooser tool

   sudo apt-get-install gnome-color-chooser

2. Run gnome-color-chooser
3. Under the Specific tab you can select your preferred colours for tooltips as shown below.


4. After changing the values, the tooltips are now more legible and a pleasure to use again:)



Question: Why isn't the gnome-color-chooser app installed by default?
