SAP HANA dark theme change sql script text colors/syntax highlighting

Question

I changed SAP HANA studio to the dark theme, but the text in the editor is difficult to see. I've searched through all the preferences for about 30 minutes but I still can't find any way to change this.

There are some posts in the SAP Community asking this same question (with no solution yet):

SAP HANA Studio

Version: 2.3.41

Answer 1

The build-in options to change the color themes are pretty limited.

Given that SAP does not further develop SAP HANA Studio - it is deprecated and superseded by the WebIDE - the only option I found is to use a 3rd party tool to change the theme:

Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle from Genuitec.

I just added the "software site" URL (http://www.genuitec.com/updates/devstyle/ci/) to the HANA Studio Eclipse and installed the DevStyle product.

This resulted in a look like this:

It does not provide detailed control over the syntax-highlighting, though. So if you're after choosing which SQL keywords get which colour then you're out of luck with SAP HANA Studio.
