A screenshot showing the uglyness of photon darktheme on windows

First of all: Darktheme looks very nice on Linux!

But I have to use Windows at work and when switching to darktheme (even with restarting eclipse) the dark theme has always these annoying standard SWT scrollbars. (see attachement).

The editor and many other views have wonderful designed scrollbars. But not all.

This is something I cannot understand: Why is there no way to just make the default appearance of a SWT Scrollable themeable/themed per default? When it works iside editor then it should work as well on any scrollable component!

Maybe this is an SWT issue too, but themeing is done (afaik) in UI.

As an plugin developer I should never have to care about theming scrollbars.

As long as people got such scrollbars sorrowly the most of them will NOT use dark theme on Windows! 

PS: Sometimes I wonder why for dark themeing there is no "simple" wrap up of swing over SWT ... So main menu would be themeable too (of course a restart would be necessary)
