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.
To select colors in the workbench using the Windows dialog box:
- 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.
