Eclipse: black on white

Terminal: white on black

I tried to go black on white all the way a while ago, because it is annoying to switch between eclipse + websites and the terminal.

It seems however that the default gnome-terminal palette and most programs are optimized for white on black. With a lot of effort I found an acceptable 256-color scheme for terminal vim, but I gave up and reverted when the output "ack" became unreadable.

thumbs up! using same seutp.
