Re: [e4-dev] My list of open e4 bugs

Re "menu bar styling" -- I've talked to the SWT team about this, but I suspect it's not going to be fixed _in_3.x_. What I suggested to them is that, after Indigo, they should think about forking the SWT codebase, and building a 4.x stream where they could make more radical changes to the menu bar code. I believe this would likely be required both to get menu bar styling and to be able to properly support the "toolbar above the menubar" style that we are starting to see in more Windows apps (see related bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=325795 ).

Hi All,
 
I am currently updating the e4 contacts demo for EclipseCon and I noticed that many e4-related bugs I filed in the last year are still open:
 
264531 nor P3 Windows Vista e4.swt-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx NEW --- [CSS] Provide css styling for SWT menu bar and table headers 
317788 nor P3 Windows 7 e4.swt-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx NEW --- [CSS] CTabRendering: dynamic theme switching does not change all attributes 
278381 nor P3 Windows Vista e4.ui-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx NEW --- [CSS] CSS engine does not reset SWT defaults 
295886 nor P3 Windows Vista e4.ui-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx NEW --- [CSS] The toolbar is not rendered correctly 
318139 nor P3 Windows 7 e4.ui-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx NEW --- [CSS] theme switching opens/closes an empty window 
320932 cri P3 All e4.ui-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx NEW --- Can't start Eclipse 4.0 SDK (Early Adopter Release) with proxy authentication 
321087 nor P3 Windows 7 e4.ui-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx NEW --- Save, Save All & Print disabled icons look ugly in the toolbar 
321988 nor P3 Windows 7 e4.ui-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx NEW --- [CSS] CTabRendering: TabItem background and not stylable 
321989 nor P3 Windows 7 e4.ui-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx NEW --- [CSS] CTabRendering: Shadows are not created when switching a theme 
322641 nor P3 Windows 7 e4.ui-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx NEW --- [CSS] Cleanup org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.swt from unnecessary e4 dependencies 
322644 nor P3 Windows 7 e4.ui-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx NEW --- [CSS] Add org.eclipse.e4.ui.widgets to the e4.ui.css.psf
280435 nor P3 Windows Vista e4.ui-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx ASSI --- [CSS] Radial gradients for e4 css styling
 
The bugs I find most important are:
Bug 320932 is critical, it is still in 4.1 M5.
Bug 264531 puts the whole css styling story in question, because you are restricted to styling that fits to the default menu and table headers.
Bug 318139 seems to be Windows-specific, but it is very annoying
Bug 280435 is assigned, but I guess a very big effort…
 
Could anyone on this list please comment on the above bugs and let me know if there is a chance to fix them until 4.1?
 
Unfortunately many of the bugs are so (SWT-) internal that I cannot fix them myself.
But I try to provide some comments/patches until EclipseCon…
 
Best regards,
