3.4 RC3

Bug #234362 provided a new graphic for the help overlay for markers.  The supplied graphic was felt to be too dominant though when you have a lot of them.  See screen shots in referenced bug.

I think the main problem is the use of the white ? on the blue background. This gives it a kind of "Windows" look. Other instances of question mark icons in Eclipse tend to have a lighther style to them, with a blue or grey ? on a white background and accompanying circle.  However, I recognize that we only have 8x8 pixels to work with.

Kevin, is this still planned for 3.4.1? Can we defer to 3.4.2, or 3.5?
Comment 2 Kevin McGuire CLA 2008-08-27 12:12:59 EDT 
Not sure how this got tagged 3.4.1 likely off-by-one (meant 3.5).
Comment 3 Boris Bokowski CLA 2009-05-06 16:49:32 EDT 
Removing 3.5 target milestone. We are in the end-game now. Please have a look and decide if this should be targeted at 3.6.

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.
