(In reply to Lars Vogel from comment #0) > I don't see a lot of value for it, it only shows content for the "Reduced > Palette" theme. > > I suggest to retire it. I agree. Either we remove it or we make is usable for all themes. Anyone wants to take this one for M3? +1 for removing it, it takes up so much space and provides little value IMO. Is it possible to set tooltips for combo box item hovers? If so, we could put the description for the "Reduced Pallete" theme in a tooltip. ±0. Just want to add that the box does not require much space. It use any available space. Make the dialog smaller and you see how much space it really take.

Regardless I don't think it provides any value that a hover couldn't provide (if hover's for combo boxes are possible) New Gerrit change created: https://git.eclipse.org/r/163122 Gerrit change https://git.eclipse.org/r/163122 was merged to [master].
