Hi Christian,

Thank you for the pointer. I will start with this and see where it leads me.

Hi Philip,

with 'custom modification' I mean that you would have to checkout the
source code and modify it to your needs. Depending on how you use the
timeline view (raw API / jface api) you would have to adapt the code.

A good starting point might be
https://github.com/eclipse/nebula/blob/master/widgets/timeline/org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.timeline/src/org/eclipse/nebula/widgets/timeline/figures/detail/track/lane/LaneFigure.java

which is the parent of each 'line' and holds the events to display

best regards
Christian
