The text themes in Afae work fine on Mac, but if you are using Linux then you might have noticed that some of the themes don’t work very well (as I have been noticing lately – Ubuntu 9.10). The main problem being, depending on your theme, when you are selecting text the text foreground often isn’t visible or it is very difficult to read.

I’ve been fixing them as I use them, and I think they are all, at least, usable now. If you haven’t noticed this bug, ignore this post, but if you are using Linux and need the fix you can download the fixed themes.

Just unzip them over the textthemes directory into your [eclipse]/plugins/com.rohanclan.afae/textthemes directory and reapply the theme you are using.

The fixes just set the foreground colour for the text when you select text. This will be in the next release, and if you are using something other than Linux / Ubuntu you probably don’t need to bother with this fix.
