All Dark Eclipse Theme

In case you guys are looking for an all dark-eclipse theme for Ubuntu 12.04.
Something like below..





 Its a 2 way process, cos right now there isn't a complete solution for this dark theme, but its still pretty easy to go by.
1. Download solancer's "dark-ambience-theme" from this link
2. Go to nautilus > Edit > Preferences > check the option of "Show hidden and backup files". Once you "check it", extract the content of downloaded zip file to ".themes" folder
3. Now go to .themes > solancer-com-Ambiance > gtk-2.0 > open the "gtkrc" file in text editor.

4. Comment the 1st line by placing it with "#" in front it and replace it with this


gtk-color-scheme = "base_color:#555555\nfg_color:#000000\ntooltip_fg_color:#999999\nselected_bg_color:#666666\nselected_fg_color:#ffffff\ntext_color:#000000\nbg_color:#333333\ntooltip_bg_color:#000000\nlink_color:#DD4814"
 

5. Save and exit.

note - this only changes eclipse background color for everything but not for "editor", in order to have "more" theme option for editor, you can always download eclipse-color-theme plugin from its marketplace and this worked perfectly with plugin

Once you do the above and have your eclipse configured with all your preferences and settings, you might wanna work in different workspace for different project.
In order to copy all the "setting/preferences" from previous workspace the easiest way(which i have tested) is to copy files from
YourOldworkspace/.metadata/.plugins/.org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings directory into your
Newworkspace/.metadata/.plugins/.org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings

P.S - the .metadata folder will be hidden so, unhide it from preference section of your system-explorer
   - my bad, in order to have tabs and everything in color of your choice, we need color theme plugin
     by joyeel from market place and configure as per our choice
