Description Matthew Hatem CLA 2004-08-05 11:48:08 EDT 
From Steve Northover in 51582:
"There is a work around (close and restart Eclipse).  In any case, this bug 
report says "Need the ability to determine "High Contrast" mode, and this 
problem has been implemented.  Please create a new problem report.  Thanks."

-- 

We need the ability to detect changes in the highContrast setting.  Currently
SWT does not provide any notification of such change.  Without this
notification, custom widgets cannot draw properly.  Consider the following use case:

An instance of Eclipse is shared by two users.  One of the users is visually
impaired and one is not.  The user that is not visually impaired has written
some code in Eclipse and needs the user that is visually impaired to review it
before it is committed.  The visually impaired user now needs to use Eclipse on
this machine in high contrast mode, without having to restart Eclipse.
Comment 1 Florian Priester CLA 2006-05-07 16:11:48 EDT 
This bug report should be obsolete now that both bug 13813 and bug 128804
have been fixed.
Comment 2 Steve Northover CLA 2006-05-08 13:07:23 EDT 
Please use the SWT.Settings callback to detect a change in high contrast mode.
