Description Masaki Saitoh CLA 2003-05-09 21:31:52 EDT 
When you chnage system settings on Control Panel, WM_SETTINGCHANGE event is
passed to Control.  However the event is never route to our SWT client.
Without the event, our application can not apply new settings dynamically 
because resources such as color, font are usually cached in an applicaton.
If the event occured, it should be passed to some listener.

For now, always query the system colors and fonts and your application will 
always draw correctly.  StyledText does this.

I understand your suggestion.
However I am interested in regional setting change event as well.
It would be nice if SWT notifies SETTINGCHANGE_EVENT to the client though
I know you need to care about all the platform not only Windows.
Do you have any plan to enhance on this?

It's not on any plan right now.
