:), I wish that worked as often as we hope it did. But we need to do something to create the buzz that would drive interest and contribution. Having a dark theme at least gives them hope Eclipse can look like the cool kids, even if it didn't work everywhere. And who knows, that might look cool on it's own…

I've always said and I'm still convinced that the way we apply CSS on widgets is wrong. IMHO the CSS-Engine should do the selector calculation to assemble a style-string for a widget and SWT has to provide an API setCSSStyle(String) to accept this string and transform it to the native calls (which e.g. could be css-style stuff once more - e.g. IIRC Gtk does have such a feature). This way we could even get radial gradients, ... without coming up with a Gradient-API and this IMHO dirty image workaround.

Would be nice to have one in Eclipse also (for all the cool developers out there ;-) ). 2013/7/1 Sopot Çela <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>> For details on the chrome theme http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-4-chrome-theme#.UdHb6flJN1d and https://github.com/jeeeyul/eclipse-themes/ You can see that there is a certain interest in it. Based on https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=386470 we have also the blessing of the contributor.

Based on an offline discussion with Sopot I suggest a theme similar to Chrome and also a Dark Theme. A minimum thing would be to reduce the default whitespace used for a PartSashContainer. 2013/6/27 Paul Webster <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>> At today's meeting we're going to talk about our plan/general direction for Luna. I've put up a general draft at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/Plan/4.4 While we're editing it, please post any suggestions you have to the mailing list so we can update the draft (instead of all editing it at once). After the meeting we can update it individually and then review it again. Later Paul -- Paul Webster Hi floor.
