This is a great idea, as I also think that a lot of space is a bit wasted in the Eclipse IDE. If you have 3 or 4 views on the same row in Eclipse, all the scrollbars take a lot of space in that specific row. If by "overlay scrollbars" you mean scrollbars like in Visual Studio code, that would be a lot better already. Otherwise just reducing their width to a minimum would be better too (like in the text editor Atom). As for the tab heights, something can definitely be done here. Eclipse tabs could definitely be "slimmer". Several views in a column end up having their tabs take up too much space, a bit like the scrollbars but in the vertical space. This is a big +1 from me, this would definitely help in making the IDE feel more modern and usable.

Can you add a screen shot for the Visual Studio code scrollbars? I added one for what I mean by overlay scrollbars (GTK3) You may also be interested in looking at this which helps on windwows http://www.codeaffine.com/2015/11/04/clean-sheet-an-ergonomic-eclipse-theme-for-windows-10/ About scrollbars: we already have custom scrollbars in Dark Theme.
