Why Win10? Because most of our users use Windows MS If the implmentation is changed to use standard SWT colors COLOR_INFO_*, COLOR_LIST_*, COLOR_WIDGET_* ... it will look native on Win10 but also on all other WSes.

The system theme does that already (consuming system colors for forms); but it doesn't feel that native. But I think it's more a bad choice of which system colors are picked; currently it uses the COLOR_TITLE_* variants which are shades of blue on GTK. We should probably stick to good old WIDGET_FOREGROUND (black/white) on WIDGET_BACKGROUND (grey/black) for header and titles and stop using blue. But on a white background, nothing can feel native anyway ;) Created attachment 284867 [details]

But it looks nicer compared to css enabled, where the bluish gradient is replaced with nothing or plain gray background. I was not aware the forms with css looks *that* bad. Do we *really* want same for non-CSS variant, or other way around: why was it don at all this way in recent CSS changes? IMHO it is just ugly, see screenshot.

I may be old school, but I prefer the sobriety of grey/black over the "pimpness" of blue which I find very distracting/tiring. Mass move 4.19 M1 bugs to M3 Remove target milestone. Please set one when you start working on it. |
