Re: [e4-dev] Plan wiki for Luna

The big problem with a Dark-Theme is SWT which is not able to theme e.g.
Buttons, Table-Headers, Menus. I've always said and I'm still convinced
that the way we apply CSS on widgets is wrong.
IMHO the CSS-Engine should do the selector calculation to assemble a
style-string for a widget and SWT has to provide an API
setCSSStyle(String) to accept this string and transform it to the native
calls (which e.g. could be css-style stuff once more - e.g. IIRC Gtk
does have such a feature).
This way we could even get radial gradients, ... without coming up with
a Gradient-API and this IMHO dirty image workaround.

I know our UX team was hesitant to use a dark theme. It looks cool but
doesn't necessarily help productivity. Would be good to try it though
and see, that's the beauty of switchable themes :).

"Dark Themes" seem to be very attractive to developers, for example in
the popular Sublime editor or the IntelliJ IDE. Would be nice to have
one in Eclipse also (for all the cool developers out there ;-) ).

For details on the chrome theme
http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-4-chrome-theme#.UdHb6flJN1d and
https://github.com/jeeeyul/eclipse-themes/ You can see that there is
a certain interest in it. Based on
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=386470 we have also
the blessing of the contributor.

I second that, especially the Chrome theme. There is widespread
consensus that it is a very nice theme.

I think new CSS themes for the IDE would be a nice item.
Based on an offline discussion with Sopot I suggest a theme
similar to Chrome and also a Dark Theme. A minimum thing
would be to reduce the default whitespace used for a
PartSashContainer.

At today's meeting we're going to talk about our
plan/general direction for Luna. I've put up a general
draft at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/Plan/4.4
While we're editing it, please post any suggestions you
have to the mailing list so we can update the draft
(instead of all editing it at once). After the meeting
we can update it individually and then review it again.
Later
Paul
