Most clients use Win10. We should adjust the default form colors to align with this. I mean the default colors NOT the css styling. This will affect all JFace forms clients which do not use styling but as someone recently said, "it will fix them".
Why Win10? Because most of our users use Windows MS
If the implmentation is changed to use standard SWT colors COLOR_INFO_*, COLOR_LIST_*, COLOR_WIDGET_* ... it will look native on Win10 but also on all other WSes.

The system theme does that already (consuming system colors for forms); but it doesn't feel that native. But I think it's more a bad choice of which system colors are picked; currently it uses the COLOR_TITLE_* variants which are shades of blue on GTK. We should probably stick to good old WIDGET_FOREGROUND (black/white) on WIDGET_BACKGROUND (grey/black) for header and titles and stop using blue. But on a white background, nothing can feel native anyway ;)

But it looks nicer compared to css enabled, where the bluish gradient is replaced with nothing or plain gray background. I was not aware the forms with css looks *that* bad. Do we *really* want same for non-CSS variant, or other way around: why was it don at all this way in recent CSS changes? IMHO it is just ugly, see screenshot.
