Hi Lars, First of all I'm happy you enjoyed the widgets... And happy that you it gives you new ideas for RCP Applications!
I worked on this kind of widget in my previous company, as a POC that was unfortunately not used in production. The tool took 2 parameters: a label and a text widget.The animation started when the text widget had focus. The code was not very clean but it was functionnal. I have to contact my former colleagues to check if this work could be open sourced... Because it was not used, I do not think that it will be a problem. Please stay tuned, Laurent 2018-03-19 13:19 GMT+01:00 Lars Vogel <lars.vo...@vogella.com>: > Hello, my fellow Nebula developers, > > Looking at the awesome new editions from Laurent to the Nebula library > (many thanks to Laurent for that) triggered a desire for a new SWT > widget. ;-) > > Did someone in this group already created a "FloatingText" widget?
