The Luna Eclipse was released, and with came a new theme available "Dark", I always liked darker themes because of photosensitivity.

In Linux the Dark theme is perfect because the scrollbars, the views' handle (those 3 dots when you minimize the Outline for example) are also in the dark color.

On the other hand in Windows the scroll bars, the views, and the tabs do not go dark.

I ask: How can I leave these items above and any other ones not quoted in dark color?

The idea and stay as Visual Studio Visual Studio Dark: Image

Eclipse Luna Dark: Image

As it is an aesthetic customization for ones and ergonomics for others I believe that the question is worth.

There is still a lot left for the opensource projects (Eclipse and Netbeans) to have a cool dark theme on Windows like VS. The dark theme of Eclipse Luna is already a step.

As Renan mentioned, it is possible to use a self-contrast theme via the control panel, but your entire system will be "Dark". There is no way yet to Eclipse stylize some elements like scrollbars, buttons, among others.

In the case of Netbeans, these elements are customizable from Look'n Feels , however the Netbeans does not have a Dark theme pattern and the custom themes that we currently have are a bit ugly in my opinion.

Another alternative to using dark themes with a Java IDE is to adopt the IntelliJ IDEA that already has a Dark theme well made for all platforms (Windows, Mac and Linux). But with the Community version it is only possible to program with Java SE.

Update

Eclipse Luna 4.4 already comes with a default dark theme:
