Re: [e4-dev] Plan wiki for Luna

I agree with Tom.
But IMHO a dark theme does not make any sense at all as long as the native SWT widgets cannot by styled dark.

This was meant to be a prototype to get at least radial gradients on the screen, because SWT still does not support radial gradients.

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.
