I hear you. The shipped Eclipse dark theme is practically unusable.
Haven't they heard of UI guidelines for colors? I mean, red text on a black background

Hi Jason,
Thank you for reaching out and for your kind words about DevStyle - we really appreciate hearing that the plugin has been valuable for you.
We are actively working on resolving the incompatibility with the latest Eclipse release. Unfortunately, this issue is more complex than similar ones we've handled in the past, so it is taking longer than expected. While we don't have a precise estimate yet, please know that we are prioritizing this and will do our best to deliver an update in the coming days.
Thanks again for your patience, and hopefully soon you’ll be able to switch back to DevStyle.

DevStyle has been released with compatibility with 2025-09.
Thanks for your patience -- this one was a bit challenging to address.
Burnt too many times

In reply to 2025.2.0 Release by Tim Webb
While I'm glad to hear it is working now, I won't be installing it again.
I've been burnt one too many times and I'm not willing to gamble that the next Eclipse release won't have another issue.
Any chance the code could be open-sourced or donated to the Eclipse project?
George
DevStyle Update Site Unreadable
Submitted by Danny Mösch on Wed, 10/22/2025 - 08:27
The new Update Site points to https://devstyle.codetogether.io. But Eclipse is unable to read the repository. At the moment, the plugin can neither be installed from the Marketplace nor from the Update Site directly.
UI labels have poor color contrast.

Works in 2026-03
Submitted by Adrian Osterwalder on Wed, 03/18/2026 - 08:08
For anyone who's afraid to update to latest Eclipse version 2026-03: I installed the update without any issues. The Darkest Dark Theme works just as it did before.
Console broken

Nope. It crops the end of the console window, so you won't see the last lines.
The version is not…
Submitted by Fta Cipher on Wed, 04/08/2026 - 03:19
The version is not compatible with 2026-03. Actually, it doesn't prevent Eclipse from starting like it has been seen for older version, but there is at least an issue with the console where the last couple of lines are not shown even if you try to scroll down to the bottom of the console and this is quite annoying.
