If you are working with CVS in your projects, there is a nice feature in Eclipse to mark all changed files. Usually, changes to the source code are only marked in the Package Explorer with a “>”. If many files are changed in the project, it’s hard to find all the changes at a single glance (expect through the Team Synchronization view).

In Eclipse, you can choose the way, how changed files should appear in the Package Explorer. For example, I changed the background color to a bright yellow and the text color to blue:

To change the appearance of changed CVS file, just do following:

1. Open Windows > Preferences…
2. Team > CVS > Label Decorations
3. Check the box “Enable font and color decorations”
4. Now open General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts
5. You can change now the appearance of the changed files in the category CVS.
