Changing color scheme in Eclipse IDE

Thread view:

How can I change the default color-scheme for Eclipse? I've been
using Vim and always uses the color-scheme "koehler". Anything like
that I may need to download/import to the IDE? Or is it possible at
all?

Thanks,
Jimmy
P.S.
I know there's a way to change each color manually but would like to
have something bit more standard that everyone uses (or everyone who
doesn't like the default looking color).

AFAIK, there are no canned schemes like vim's koehler, but you can
customize the colors (background, foreground, fonts..) for various
elements (methods/local variables..). The option is under Preferences/
Editor/Syntax Coloring.

Oops - my bad. Did not notice that you acknowledged the manual
approach...
