How to turn off the dotted line between lines in Eclipse?

Question

I just downloaded the ADT from google which included the Juno version of Eclipse.

After making a project however, the default text editor has this horrible dashed / dotted line between every horizontal line. It's a pain to look at, but Eclipse's appearance preferences always leaves me completely lost.

Any ideas on how to turn off?

You might wish to take a screenshot, post it somewhere, and link to it from your question. — CommonsWare, Aug 22 '14 at 01:08

I had the same dotted lines after choosing a darker color scheme in Eclipse and this fixed it:

Window/Preferences/General/Appearance/Jeeeyul's Themes/Edit/Underline Style: None

Robert ... Did you ever find a respectable `Dark' them for Eclipse that actually worked well? (Forget also Moonrise ) – peter_pilgrim Jan 15 '16 at 15:18

You probably enabled "Show Whitespace Characters" by mistake.

Is this what you're asking to turn it off?

If so, just click at this button:

thanks, but it is NOT whitespace-- it is a fine dotted line between rows of text, between every line. Will try to post a pic somehow. – jorxster Aug 22 '14 at 17:53

Install Jeeeyul theme
Goto General > Appearance > Jeeeyul theme
Select Editor tab and set Underline Style to None, as shown in the screenshot:

These dots represent white-spaces between words/lines.

You can turn them on/off by going to Preference > General > Editors > Text Editors > Show Whitespace Characters

I found this option in Eclipse Luna. Juno should also have similar option.

Edit:

Alternatively, as @Leandro suggested, there is a button in the toolbar to turn it on/off
