Re: [platform-swt-dev] Coloring widgets on Qt

["Otto Teixeira" <ottoptr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I noticed today that I can color tables. Isn't that weird? So far, it's the only thing I can color.
Btw, I can change fonts of anything.

Since you don't know what eSWT is, I assume you are just using normal
SWT on your Ubuntu machine.  Basically, SWT doesn't actually use QT it
uses GTK.  But just as you can run the Gimp on KDE you can also run
Eclipse (it uses your current gnome theme).  I just did some tests and
it seems that some GTK themes cannot be coloured (as Stef pointed out)
AluminumAlloy-Smog is one example.  Try running gnome-theme-manager and
changing your gnome theme (Simple theme seems to allow button colour
customization).

Cheers,
Ian
