Description Tod Creasey CLA 2002-02-11 10:17:07 EST 
We need a callback that can be registered to determine when the system colours 
have changed so that any widget that does not use the default colours can 
update.
Comment 1 Mike Wilson CLA 2002-02-11 11:59:35 EST 
Hm... If the widget is not using the default colors then it doesn't need to 
update, does it? :-P

The current model is that if you are using the system colors, then it will 
happen for you for free. If not, then you could presumably hook a paint 
listener on a widget which *was* using the system colors and watch for the 
change to occur. (Note: This is obviously hokey.)

If this is critical, we can provide it, although likely not on all platforms.
Comment 2 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-02-11 12:17:32 EST 
The issue here is with widgets that set thier background colour to 
SWT.COLOR_LIST_BACKGROUND. When the user changes the window preferences so that 
the list background colour changes these widgets are not updated.

This is a low priority problem for us however.
