How to make Eclipse color settings permanent?

I installed Eclipse Luna. I like what the built-in Dark theme does to all the views surrounding the actual text editor. However, I like to use my own color theme Solarized Dark on the editor and furthermore I'm changing a few highlight-box colors in the Editor Annotation settings. I'm able to make all of those configurations just fine. It takes a few minutes however and every time I start Eclipse again all my color settings are back to the default Eclipse Dark Theme, including text editors, highlights and such.

How can I make the aforementioned settings permanent, as in not having to tweak them again every time I start Eclipse?

How you are starting eclipse. All preferences will be stored under <Workspace_Path>/.metadata folder. If you are staring eclipse with -clean option or you deleted this folder then all settings will be assigned to default values. - Chandrayya G K
It's frustrating, but I posted a workaround in a related question: stackoverflow.com/questions/25664179/… - andykellr
