Re: [platform-dev] [ide-dev] New vscode light theme for eclipse
Thanks Gayan, I've evolved my local workbench to look a bit more like the one you suggested, hiding toolbars, making it fullscreen by default... So far so good. Maybe it's the kind of refreshment we need for the IDE to look much leaner without really changing anything: shipping a different default layout, without toolbar, moving the run and perspective someplace else...? We could even make it default in the SDK as long as it's not breaking any form of functionality/extensibility (sure it's disruptive, but not worse and also not too hard for users to restore to previous state).

Re: [platform-dev] [ide-dev] New vscode light theme for eclipse
Hi Gayan, Thanks for sharing, that looks really good! How is it working in term of usability? Is it all driven by Ctrl+3? Is there any particular existing workflow that becomes more difficult with this "lightened" skin? I personally use the Run/Debug toolbar items a lot and am wondering if there is any alternative that could fit my need and could allow me to remove the toolbar. In any case, if this seems functional and nothing is really missing, even if some workflows are slightly more difficult, I'm personally fine having such a theme directly built-in the IDE.
