Re "menu bar styling" -- I've talked to the SWT team about this, but I suspect it's not going to be fixed _in_3.x_. What I suggested to them is that, after Indigo, they should think about forking the SWT codebase, and building a 4.x stream where they could make more radical changes to the menu bar code. I believe this would likely be required both to get menu bar styling and to be able to properly support the "toolbar above the menubar" style that we are starting to see in more Windows apps (see related bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=325795 ).

Subject: [e4-dev] My list of open e4 bugs
Hi All,
I am currently updating the e4 contacts demo for EclipseCon and I noticed
that many e4-related bugs I filed in the last year are still open:
264531 nor P3 Windows Vista [email protected] NEW --- [CSS] Provide
css styling for SWT menu bar and table headers
317788 nor P3 Windows 7 [email protected] NEW --- [CSS]
CTabRendering: dynamic theme switching does not change all attributes
278381 nor P3 Windows Vista [email protected] NEW --- [CSS] CSS
engine does not reset SWT defaults
295886 nor P3 Windows Vista [email protected] NEW --- [CSS] The
toolbar is not rendered correctly
318139 nor P3 Windows 7 [email protected] NEW --- [CSS] theme
switching opens/closes an empty window
320932 cri P3 All [email protected] NEW --- Can't start Eclipse 4.0
SDK (Early Adopter Release) with proxy authentication
321087 nor P3 Windows 7 [email protected] NEW --- Save, Save All &
Print disabled icons look ugly in the toolbar
321988 nor P3 Windows 7 [email protected] NEW --- [CSS]
CTabRendering: TabItem background and not stylable
321989 nor P3 Windows 7 [email protected] NEW --- [CSS]
CTabRendering: Shadows are not created when switching a theme
322641 nor P3 Windows 7 [email protected] NEW --- [CSS] Cleanup
org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.swt from unnecessary e4 dependencies
322644 nor P3 Windows 7 [email protected] NEW --- [CSS] Add
org.eclipse.e4.ui.widgets to the e4.ui.css.psf
280435 nor P3 Windows Vista [email protected] ASSI --- [CSS] Radial
gradients for e4 css styling
The bugs I find most important are:
Bug 320932 is critical, it is still in 4.1 M5.
Bug 264531 puts the whole css styling story in question, because you are
restricted to styling that fits to the default menu and table headers.
Bug 318139 seems to be Windows-specific, but it is very annoying
Bug 280435 is assigned, but I guess a very big effort?
Could anyone on this list please comment on the above bugs and let me know
if there is a chance to fix them until 4.1?
Unfortunately many of the bugs are so (SWT-) internal that I cannot fix
them myself.
But I try to provide some comments/patches until EclipseCon?
Best regards,
Kai_______________________________________________
