Re: [platform-swt-dev] Override Painting of a Scales Thumb?

You can change the background color...
 :)
Beyond that, anything else you do (even
creating a GC on the Scale and drawing on that) is pretty much guaranteed
to be platform-specific (although you could give it a try if you are feeling
wild).

The platform-independent alternative
is to roll your own. For an article on writing your own widgets, please

Subject	[platform-swt-dev] Override Painting of a Scales Thumb?

I'm still very new to SWT and I'm trying to port an
existing application
from Swing to SWT.  We have a JSlider in Swing in which we've overridden
the paint method to draw a custom thumb and background.  Is there
a way
to do such a thing in SWT with a Scale?

Thanks for any help.
Michael
