Is there any of disabling the yellow arrow that shows up when you perform a search in eclipse ? I was debugging my program earlier and i couldn't find my breakpoints, only to realize a couple of minutes later that they were being hidden behind eclipse arrows.
I know that the arrow goes away when you remove the matches from the search view, but is there a way of completely disabling the arrow from being shown ?
EDIT: Same goes for the green triangle for #Override
Go to: Preference -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Annotations then select the Annotation you would like to remove from the list of annotation types. Uncheck the 'Vertical ruler' checkbox and apply the changes.
Hope this helps.

I am looking for a setting in Eclipse (using Photon) which will alter the auto-completion style of parentheses.
Eclipse's default looks like this:
function_call(arg1, arg2, arg3);
I prefer to write code like so, as I find it more readable:
function_call( arg1, arg2, arg3 );
Is there a setting under Window > Preferences which can edit auto-completion in this way? Editing them manually is a hassle, and I like my code to look consistent, stylistically.
Yes you can do it simply. Follow the following steps:
From menu bar go to Window -> Preference
A dialog will open as follow:
2.1. From the left tree styled menu, go to Java -> Code Style -> Formatter
2.2. Now On the right you see the "Active Profile" combo box, click the Edit button
Another dialog appears as follow:
3.1. In this dialog you may check the following check boxes:
After opening parenthesis
Before closing parenthesis
(as shown in the above)
Now you want to save these changes but the OK button seems disabled. You should change the Profile name on the top of this dialog to some name of your own. Then you can hit the OK button and all set.
Then hit the Apply and Close button on the Preferences dialog.
Now every time you format you codes (using menu or Ctrl+Shift+F) your code would be formatted you desired.
As you might see in that preferences dialog there are so many other formatting options you can change and use as you want.
Hope this would be helpful.
Yes, go to Preferences > Java > Code Style > Formatter and then edit the built in formatter.
On the White Space tab expand 'Expressions' and select Function Invocations. You can then select white space after the opening and before the closing parenthesis.
I just want to get rid of these yellow rects that keep popping up in IntelliJ IDEA.
The "class name popups" are actually called breadcrumbs and can include other things such as method names. They're clickable and used to ease navigation. You can disable them in the IntelliJ Preferences by going to Editor -> General -> Appearance and unchecking Show breadcrumbs. See my image below.
In Eclipse, a file search for a text pattern results in a yellow arrow at the far left margin for each line containing a match. How can I clear these markers? They obscure any breakpoints I wish to place at those lines.
Open the search view: Window -> Show view -> Other -> General -> Search
Click the "clear all" button (it looks like 2 crosses),
Just to add, on mouse over of the two crosses, tool tip reads as Remove All Matches, and to make it more clear,
Here is the screenshot. How can I change the color of the light gray highlightning? Disabling it would be fine as well.
What you're seeing are apparently marked occurrences, that is to say, when the cursor is over an identifier, the other occurrences of that field or method are highlighted. The highlight stays active until the cursor is over another identifier (for longer than a second or so). You can toggle the marking of occurrences by pressing Shift+Alt+O, it's also a toggle button in the "Editor Presentation" toolbar.
If you like the marking of occurrences but not its appearance, you can customise that too: In the preferences, navigate to General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations, then select "Occurrences" from the list of annotation types. You can then, for example, select the background colour on the right.
In eclipse, when your cursor is placed on a method (or other things), other places the method exists are highlighted. I'd like to change the color of this highlight, but after scouring the eclipse preferences many times in all 3 places, I have yet to find it.
Any of you Eclipse gurus know where to find this option?
After running around in the Preferences dialog, the following is the location at which the highlight color for "occurrences" can be changed:
General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Annotations
Look for Occurences from the Annotation types list.
Then, be sure that Text as highlighted is selected, then choose the desired color.
And, a picture is worth a thousand words...

For those working in Titanium Studio, the item is a little different: It's under the "Titanium Studio" Themes tab.
The color to change is the "Selection" one in the top right.
1 - right click the highlight whose color you want to change
2 - select "Properties" in the popup menu
3 - choose the new color (as coobird suggested)
This solution is easy because you dont have to search for the highlight by its name ("Ocurrence" or "Write Ocurrence" etc), just right click and the appropriate window is shown.
If you're using eclipse with PHP package and want to change highlighted colour then there is slight difference to above answer.
Right click on highlighted word
Select 'Preferences'
Go to General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations. Now look for "PHP elements 'read' occurrences" and "PHP elements 'write' occurrences". You can select your desired colour there.
right click the highlight whose color you want to change
select "Preference"
->General->Editors->Text Editors->Annotations->Occurrences->Text as Hightlited->color.
Select "Preference ->java->Editor->Restore Defaults
in my case (Eclipse IDE 2021-06), dark theme, the issue was with the background color of "C/C++ Write Occurrences".
On each click over a variable being written in the code, the editor highlights all occurrences of that variable.
You can find this setting here:
General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Annotations
and then select 'C/C++ Write Occurrences'.
And finally change che Color property.
