Description paul moore CLA 2004-02-05 14:07:29 EST 
My immediate need is to be able to change how the shortcut bar is displayed. 
Today I can only do this by modifying the eclipse source code. Ideally I should 
be able to create a subclass of WorkbenchPage. Although I can create a subclass 
there is no way to tell the core to load it instead of WorkbenchPage. What is 
needed is either advisor methods to specify the major UI classes or the 
application manifest file specifies which classes to load for these pieces.
I should be able to provide classes for WBPAge, ViewSite, .... ; anything the 
creates UI L&F

There is currently no plan to work on this but a custom presentation may do the job for you

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
