Re: [e4-dev] Themes for Eclipse 4
|
As a follow up to the Eclipse theme issue, we got another good theme from Jeeeyul Lee. Details and screenshot:

Tested on Win 7 and it installed and worked flawlessly.

An interesting idea is to allow each CSS theme to declare an @namespace that the internal CSS engine would interpret to
(1) define a different directory root for the source of icon image files, or
(2) name a resource containing a color map translation to be applied to the baseline/default colored icon images.
The first could be simple to implement: manually create a theme appropriate icon set and root the images directory structure at the name corresponding to the namespace.
The second has the allure of being able to specify a color map (one each for active, disabled, ??) and reasonably convert all icons to a theme. The existing icons are quite consistent in the use of color, so there is a good chance that this would work.
FWIW, I am interested in theming the entire workbench, not just a small RCP application.

Well potentially icons even have to change based on the theme, so
there's bit of a mismatch between theme and application model in this
regard.
So i think the icons defined in the model can only act as defaults and
can be overwritten by CSS-Definitions:
#save {
image: url();
}
#save:disabled {
image: url();
}
#save:hover {
image: url();
}

The backgrounds of these icons are transparent. The white/lite
colored pixels are non-transparent artifacts. All that is needed is a
bit of pixel editing to remove them.
The only way to have a consistent icon set that looks good on dark and light backgrounds is to provide icons with a real alpha channel. 100% transparency per background pixel, like we have it now, does not work in terms of a professional look. PNG supports this pretty good. But this would lead to a redesign of ALL icons used in Eclipse.
