Hi Roger, great news! Could you re-share the dark theme which you created? It look to me that it did not survive the forwarding. I assume you are past this point but I have a little Eclipse 4 CSS tutorial here: http://www.vogella.com/articles/Eclipse4CSS/article.html
If you do not use it already you should have a look at Brians CSS Spy which is also briefly described in the tutorial.
