Re: [linux-distros-dev] customize gtk theme makes eclipse 100% more usable
|
Hi Pantelis,
my opinion about your point is:
1) it is not intuitive, for a common user, that gtk theme is responsible of defining this properties (most users will first go to eclipse's window->preference->appearence and try to futilesness configure from there)
2) in a normal gnome environment (ubuntu's and opensuse's, for ex) ALL of the themes installed (clearlox, crux, glider, synchronicity, default, highcontrast, etc) waste vertical space in eclispe tree views (imho the principal annoying thing of eclipse linux) My self didn't know till now that there exists a theme gtk-qt that fix this. (but, think about it, why should I know that?)
3) it seems that t eclipse is doing nothing to improve eclipse+linux user experience in this way....
I think eclipse shoud define an appropiate theme customization and at least give the user the oportunity to use it. Believe me that several unexpierienced-in-gnome users will appreciate something like that!
Cheers.
