As you can have fonts and colors that are not editable they are still required to have a label even though it is never shown. As the label property is translatable that means that for plug-ins that translate warnings need to be given to translators to ignore entries as they are not used.

This should be optional with a fallback to the id (which should be required) if it is not entered.

Yes good point, colors and fonts marked isEditable=false do not show in preferences (so don't need labels).

As per http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/Bug_Triage_Change_2009

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.
