Hello, I would suggest the following enhancement for the upcoming ViusalEditor. It could be good to have a means to externalize the look of an application created by VE, ie à la manière d' une style sheet file (stle.css) where we could define the overal look for button, labels, and so on..., and redefine specific components too. The software could be provided with default style sheets like McOS, WinXP, and so on... regards Xavier
Because SWT doesn't have themes, I'm reassigning this bug to the Swing folks for consideration. Thanks for the idea.
This functionality can be achieved by using or implementing you own Swing Look & Feel. A look and feel will allow you to set the default values for all of the properties you mentioned.
But I would like to use such a functionnality on SWT/JFace... I don't need to redefine all the look of the Windowing system, but only to define general look for buttons, lists, ..., for a given application , ie backcolor, textcolor, and so on... The idea was to externalize these information in an XML file wich could be read by VE ..
Hello, We could use GWT as a working example of how style sheets can be associated to SWT-like components. regards Xavier
