I am using eclipse JUNO.

When the cursor goes over the variable name (in resource and debug perspective) the details of the variable name in displayed in a small window like a box..How to change the color of the window and its details..

In my case the color is actually in black background and white foreground.

Are you using Eclipse on Ubuntu? There this seems to be a common problem caused by default color settings of the operating system.

I've tried Juno and the problem is still there. I believe it is a bug in Eclipse: unchecking "System Default" in Java > Editor > Source Hover background has no effect. Eclipse continues to use the system-provided colors even when changing the settings.

This seems to be a long-standing problem with Eclipse developers blaming Ubuntu.
