[e4-dev] CSS + Modelled UI: Need notion of active part

[Kevin McGuire <Kevin_McGuire@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Eric suggested I forward this thread
to the list.  I think it's an interesting problem because it's about
meta information expressed at the level of the workbench (active part),
manifest as styling via CSS (as changes in tab colors), and how we should
communicate that.

Those interested should comment in the
bug so we can keep the thread together.

Regards,
Kevin

This makes perfect sense to me. We most certainly don't want the CSS to
be
against the 'focus' control but, as you say, the 'active part' (as defined
by
some higher level entity (aka the workbench)...

I'm all for having the Model/CSS boundary managed by a separate piece of
code
(bundle?), specific to this task. We should have enough information being
forwarded by the model to accomplish this fairly cleanly. This will allow
the
us to freely 'play' with concepts in this area without affecting the other
(non-CSS aware) parts of the code.

We should perhaps take some time to discuss this on 'eclipse-e4'...
