Re: [platform-swt-dev] SWT GTK Theme

[Silenio Quarti <Silenio_Quarti@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The org.eclipse.swt.internal.theme
package is an attempt to provide Theme drawing APIs so that custom widgets
could draw portions of its content with native look (buttons, checkboxes,
scrollbars. etc).  The code was never finalized, so the API was never
moved into a public package.   The package was exported in order for
the community to try it out.    It seems that the interest on
such API faded away and it never got high priority to get finished.

I am not aware of anyone using it. It
is certainly not used by the Eclipse SDK.

Hi everyone, 

Can someone give me some overview of how org.eclipse.swt.internal.theme
is supposed to be used. It makes use of a number of things removed in GTK3
but I don't find any usage in SWT itself and the internal package is exported
which made me a bit suspicious. What's the story with it?
