Build Identifier: M20080911-1700 Currently unless the components in the SashForm are using borders the sash positions between them is totally invisible so user has to guess by moving the mouse the looking for "arrows" cursor. It's possible to control this with reflection but it would be nice if accessing sash background/style was a public API. Snippet for changing sash background to make it visible: public static void highlightSash(SashForm sash) { try { Field sashStyleField = sash.getClass().getDeclaredField("background"); //$NON-NLS-1$ sashStyleField.setAccessible(true); sash.setSashWidth(2); sashStyleField.set(sash, sash.getDisplay().getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_GRAY)); } catch (Exception e) { Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class).info("Sash highlighting failed: " + e.getMessage()); //$NON-NLS-1$ } } Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create SashForm with components without SWT.BORDER 2. Observe: it's hard to know if sash is there and if there where exactly
