Sorry Tom, I don't understand your explanation.
I think today the problem with TK-UI CSS engine is that
CSSEngine#applyStyles must be done at end of the build of UI.
applyStyles loop for each SWT widgets hierarchy and apply style for
each widget.
With the SWT Form Toolkit, adapt method is called when SWT widgets is added
to a Composite (I believe it do like this). So no need to loop for SWT
widgets hierarchy,
style is applyed on adapat method (when widgets is added).
If we have SWT widgetAdded event, problem will be resolved, but I
think it's difficult for SWT Team to manage that (I believe Kevin said
that).
