The bug that Dave is working on is this:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=166538

 

There is a screen shot attached. The problem manifests when the widget
is in a dialog tab pane while using Windows XP theme. The color of the
text area does match the background if the text widget is placed
directly onto the dialog surface. The code does "setEditable(false)". Do
you think this is an SWT bug?

There is some information on this here:

nce/misc/ui_accessibility_tips.html 

If you set the Text widget to be read-only, it *should* have the same
color as the background as far as I know.

[wtp-dev] Screen readers and description labels vs. text areas

 

 

 




I am doing some clean up on UI. We have heard rumors that descriptions
that should be picked up by alternative screen readers should be
contained in a text area. Unfortunately, this sets up a background
problem where the description gets a different background than the rest
of the composite. 
  
Do text areas need to be used for alternative screen readers to find
descriptions? 
  
I would like to fix this problem by using a simple Label instead. Will
that be picked up by alternative screen readers? 
  
Thanks,
