Frankly speaking guys, I've lost my hope in SWT - I guess this does not
come to any suprise who has been following my latest work.

:), 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…

@Tom, Kai, my hope is that if we make the SWT limitation visible to a
broader user base that more people are interested in fixing them /
contributing to them.

The big problem with a Dark-Theme is SWT which is not able to theme
e.g. Buttons, Table-Headers, Menus. 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.

doesn't necessarily help productivity. Would be good to try it
though
and see, that's the beauty of switchable themes :).

"Dark Themes" seem to be very attractive to developers, for
example in
the popular Sublime editor or the IntelliJ IDE. Would be nice to
have
one in Eclipse also (for all the cool developers out there ;-) ).

there is
a certain interest in it. Based on

the blessing of the contributor.

I think new CSS themes for the IDE would be a nice
item.
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.

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
<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
