Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle

Thank you very much for adding support for v2024-06.  This is the best Dark Theme plugin for eclipse

Dear all, 
is it just me or is there still something wrong with the current version of the theme. 

Please, help me out.

I have a brand-new installation of Eclipse 2024-06 "Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers" on a standard Win10 x86_64 PC. 
I also installed some other addons from SAP an from the Market Place, everything went fine. 
Then I tried to install the Darkest Dark Theme, first from the Marketplace and second directly via DevStyle CI Update Site - https://devstyle.codetogether.io.
Both installations failed with the same Errors:

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed

The address column of the disassembly window has still a white background, and no matter what I change it stays the same.

This is broken on Eclipse 2024-09 and REALLY screws eclipse up...

The error is this:

java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: Class org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Image does not have member field 'int currentDeviceZoom'

Looking in the SWT code on github, currentDeviceZoom is a PRIVATE field and they changed the name of the field or removed it.

TIP - Don't use private fields or methods in other peoples code...

The current version of the Darkest Dark Theme breaks Eclipse 2024-09. The IDE will not even start up.

I managed to start latest Eclipse STS with DevStyle Darkest Dark by deleting all com.genuitec.* packages in the plugins and features subfolders of the installation.

Ruby 2023.3.5 (1C:Enterprise Development Tools)
DevStyle (includes Darkest Dark Theme)    2024.2.0.202406171634

If setup "Dark" you will see absolutely nothing until change active element of the tree.
I wiil be happy about any help/direction to right path of .css/settings to solve it.
Most convinient way to reproduce: open settings, left side is tree view. Select anything and try to read. 

Broken after last update and couldn't start Eclipse at all. I had to do a fresh install and now it won't even download anymore.

As mentioned in other reviews, the plugin is completely broken in Eclipse 2024-09 and prevents the IDE from starting up. Mentioned workarounds help boot into Eclipse to uninstall it, but nothing makes the theme actually work. Resorted to the built-in dark mode theme for the time being.

Hi

Please let me know if we going to get a fix soon for Eclipse 2024.9 version

Looks like you can't install this anymore. I'm getting an error stating that the SSL Certificate has been expired since oct 16 2024

I want to report another bug: when we're using the 'Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle,' the menu bar contrast is poor in version 2024-09. Will this be fixed as well?

Checkout the shot

it doesn't work with tabnine.

Description:
After upgrading Eclipse to version 2024.12, the navigation bar does not display correctly when using the dark theme. 
The issue is caused by the navigation bar font color being the same as the background color, making the text invisible.
 

The 2024-12-R Eclipse has a "bug" that the system menus disappear on Windows 11 24H2.

Maybe the font color is the same as the menu bar.

After updating eclipse to the latest version, main menu options are no longer visible! However, the options are still clickable which is a temporary workaround to this behavior! Not a major issue but needs to be fixed! 

Seems the menu active color is broken. The menu is invisible when the window is focussed, and visible when it's not

After updating Eclipse to 2024-12 the text of the menu bar is not readable if the window of Eclipse has focus with Dark Gray theme. The text is dark gray and the menu bar background also.

Inline Search is not for me, doesn't work well with keyboard shortcuts.

I always disabled that, but latest DevStyle update broke this and even if you disable Inline Search, it still prevails over your preference.

User's preference should be honoured by the plugin.

Does anyone else have the weird issue since 2024-12 that the entries of the menu bar ("File", "Edit", etc) are not visible when the window is focused.

Platform: Windows 10
Eclipse: 2024-12 (4.34.0)
Workbench theme: Dark Gray (Darkest Dark)
Icon colors. Primary Colors
Editor theme: Darkest Dark

I headed over to here to check if this theme is compatible at all. But it is marked to work with 2024-12.

However the entries are visible if the window is not focused. (also if one uses a "light" workbench theme)

One can "click" on a menu entry and than it is shown (if one "remembers" where the entry is used to be)

See screenshot

This extension looks weird in the other's hand

TrI'm tryingying to install it in DBeaver using https://devstyle.codetogether.io, but this does not seem to be working. Was there any change?

Unable to connect to repository https://devstyle.codetogether.io/content.xml
Connect to https://devstyle.codetogether.io:443 [devstyle.codetogether.io/138.197.121.204] failed

Like other commenters, this plugin seems to work OK with 2024-12 version; but after installing in 2025-03, Eclipse exits at startup.

Please read https://github.com/eclipse-packaging/packages/issues/310 for details!

Seems it broke Eclipse again after updating to 2025.09.

Eclipse crashes when the plugin is installed in 2025-09:

DevStyle is now developed by CodeTogether, not Genuitec. They currently do not have anyway to report a defect in DevStyle and haven't released an updated plugin since it moved to CodeTogether. 

While it appears CodeTogether is apparently aware of the problem and working on a fix (based on information from the original Genuitec community discussion (Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle is not compatible with Eclipse 4.37 · Genuitec/community · Discussion #6) there is no reference of DevStyle on the CodeTogehter website. I suspect the DevStyle plugin is headed down the abandoned road very soon. Too bad, because it was a really nice theme plugin for eclipse - much better color pallet than any other theme plugin (including eclipse own provided theme which hurts my eyes most of the time).
