Re: [platform-swt-dev] Setting the button background color underwindows

Hi Lars,
There's a known limitation with Windows native push buttons, they don't honor colors.. be it foreground or background.
This problem was already discussed/investigated in bugs https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=23837and https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=36055#c1

Regards,
Niraj Modi

Hi Tom,

I'm aware of the other limitations but I think having the option to
set the background color would already been a big improvement. For
example the dark theme under Linux looks IMHO way better than it does
look on Windows.

For tables / tree we have NatTable (which would work fine for the
customer) and for the scrollbar there is a custom scrollbar from Frank
Apple which would solve the need of the customer.

Best regards, Lars
