direct update site https://nodeclipse.github.io/dev.updates/editbox-1.0.0/
EditBox is using background colors theme to highlight code blocks.
This is converted to git and mavenized EditBox Eclipse plugin created by Piotr Metel. The author was working for project in 2009-2011. Latest version released by Piotr Metel was 0.0.22. Named as 0.22 Alpha.
Paul Verest has discovered about EditBox though "Added EditBox support #52" guari/eclipse-ui-theme#52. And emailed the author. Whether author will answer or not, having project on GitHub hopefully will revive it.
UPDATE: In one day 2014-03-26 converted to git and mavenized; added RainbowDrops.es by @Vexatos;
on second day 2014-03-27 changed default theme list to include all themes, add major languages as category,
make default configuration in 10 lines,
for example
result.add(createProviderForNameAndExtentions("c++", Arrays.asList("*.c", "*.cpp", "*.h", "*.hpp") ) );
For example add Blue Light theme

Youtube video where EditBox is used, but not mentioned
Hints:
- Before modifying or importing a theme change name
- (for themes with gradient) Adjust "Alpha blending" to make theme lighter or darker.
Add your themes like Blue & Red commit.
Default themes for a Category are defined in pm.eclipse.editbox\src\pm\eclipse\editbox\impl\BoxProviderRegistry.java
In eclipse with PDE (e.g. Enide Studio)
open plugin.xml , click Launch an Eclipse application.
Preferences are saved to file
