Created attachment 256449 [details] Cord (left) with big icons - same toolbar height as my app Hi all, I created my very first SWT app on OS X. So far it was quite easy. But I saw that the toolbar hight seems to be calculated in a wrong way. With small icons the toolbar seems to have the same size of native apps' toolbars with big items. If I use big items, the padding under the items gets even bigger. I attached a screenshot of Cord with big and small icons and on the right side my app. Setting the height of the toolbar doesn't do anything. So I thing some internal magic is doing something wrong here.

Can you please attach a SWT code snippet which demonstrates the problem clearly? Thanks!
Hi, Sorry it took so long: https://github.com/mojo2012/VelocityEditor/blob/master/src/at/spot/velocityeditor/Application.java Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Lakshmi, can you please check the behavior with the snippet provided?
Created attachment 259646 [details] screenshot-native app vs SWT app with toolbar I couldn't run the snippet as is, since it has too many dependencies to be resolved and the sample image was missing too. I just extracted out the SWT part and used a 32x32 image and ran it... Comparing with the Toolbar sample from [1], there is a very little extra padding above and below the ToolItem. Pls see the attached screenshot. [1] https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/ToolbarSample/Listings/Controller_h.html

Shouldn't this be an easy fix? This is now open for 1,5 years and not even a reaction yet?

I am totally open to do it myself, but to be honest it‘s kinda hard to even get an overview of the source code - dozends of repos, some seem outdated, none or hard to find docs, no build by source guide, not even clear naming amond the various jars, not to me tion the very poor git web interface. Coming from github, where everything is searchable, linked abd even indexed in google, looking for a single file in the swt code is a nightmare. Sorry for the rant, just my experience in the last days.
And this horrible bugzilla ...

Hmm, I know what you mean. I intend to update the documentation upon completion of a larger project. Feel free to keep track via: 528173 – SWT Website Documentation needs a refresh https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=528173 In the mean time, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. I'm also around on IRC.

You can get started with setting up the source code - https://www.eclipse.org/swt/git.php If you want to use any Cocoa APIs in the code, you can install the Mac Generator tool - https://www.eclipse.org/swt/macgen.php
We do have Oomph based automated setup. You can follow the steps given in https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/How_to_Contribute#Setting_up_your_SDK_for_code_contributions When you are selecting projects select Platform > SWT instead of Platform > UI. All the remaining steps are same
