Randy, this is the design that we worked out with the Eclipse media team. Help is meant to work in both eclipse and for server based (info-center) scenarios, and this flat looked appeared to cut it better than other variations. If the feedback we're getting (like this bug) indicates it was a wrong decision, we will revert to regular toolbars. I will target this for post 2.0, when we can work on some redesign. -"this flat looked appeared to cut it better than other variations" What do you mean other variations? I wasn't recommending that you change Scrollbars at all, but respect the platform's normal scrollbar appearance. This was the *WHOLE* point for using SWT: so the widget would look native. I don't even think Netscape will respect these visual settings, will it? Re-opening the bug... You're original response mentioned "toolbars". This PR is not about Toolbars, but Scrollbars. Yes, I meant scrollbars. Targeted for 2.1. *** Bug 23297 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** All custom scrollbar code is removed now. |
The scrollbars in the Help window are not platform look-and-feel. Someone has overridden the platform in the HTML source here: <style type="text/css">body {scrollbar-highlight-color:ThreeDShadow;scrollbar- shadow-color:ThreeDShadow;scrollbar-arrow-color:#000000;scrollbar-darkshadow- color:Window;scrollbar-face-color:ButtonFace;border-right:1px solid black; border-bottom:1px solid black;}</style> This does not respect high-contrast mode and it conflicts with the Users installed theme on Windows XP. IMO, they look bad because I can't tell what is the thumb and what is the Page up/down portion. The thumb is supposed to look raised so that the user knows where to click-and-drag, but here is has been configured to look flat.
