The Eclipse workbench uses a color selection dialog box
that the operating system provides. In Windows®, the color selection dialog box does
not respond properly to assistive technology. When you first open
the dialog box, the focus is on one of the basic colors, but the dialog
box provides no indication of this through assistive technology. You
can use this dialog box to select colors in the workbench.
Procedure
- In the Preferences window, select
an item to customize. For example, select General > Appearance > Colors
and Fonts; then click Basic > Error
text color.
- In the color selection dialog box, press Tab twice
to move from the Basic colors matrix to the Define Custom
Colors button and press Enter.
- Enter the basic color values using the HSL or RGB specification.
