Eclipse dark color theme fixes

I've finaly decided to fix the twitches with Eclipse dark color theme. I am using Moonrise theme and I couldn't find any options to fix them via Preferences->General->Appearance->Colors and Fonts.

The first annoying twitch is with content assist window, where I can not see which entry is chosen. There is slightly different background for selected entry, but it's barely visible:

The second problem is with the menu entries color which is black when selected, making it really hard to read:

Have anyone tried to solve this problems and how?

You might want to look at Eclipse Luna (4.4) which is now on Release Candidate 4 and will be released this month. Luna has a built in dark theme. – greg-449
Actually, this is LPCXpresso IDE for embedded development, built on top of Eclipse, so I can't just use the latest Eclipse. – c0dehunter

Preferences > Appearance > Colors and Fonts

Basic > Content Assist Background Color
Basic > Content Assist Foreground Color
Basic > Counter Color

My Preferences Settings for Content Assist

another problem may turn up with the color of hyperlinks, like those in the menu or in the hover-popup on errors. see: Hyperlinkcolor in a dark theme unreadable under win 10 (currently unsolved)
