Description Philipp Kursawe CLA 2008-12-01 17:26:10 EST 
Beside the rrr,ggg,bbb notation the StringConverter.asRGB should also accept #rrggbb as it is used in web-development. It would save some time from converting those values into the r,g,b form.
When StringConverter has implemented that, the ColorDefintion of a IThemeDescriptor could accept #rrggbb values too.
I will try to provide an initial implementation patch of that.

Changing Version tag to something more believable. Note that this is not a statement about when the enhancement request will be addressed (the Target Milestone field is used for that); the Version tag should be set to the version of Eclipse you were using when you saw the need for the enhancement.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
