[platform-swt-dev] Menubar and scrollbar theming
|
Hi all,
(Most likely) Because of the limitations of the commercial operating
systems people increasingly demand applications that support dark themes
(neither OS X nor the latest Windows versions provide means to customize
the GUI control colors).
I've tried to implement it as good as possible with the current SWT API:
<http://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/version-17/dark-theme.png>
Unfortunately, some parts are not yet customizable:
- the toolbar does not use the set foreground color (bug 508033)
- table headers don't use the table's background and foreground colors
(bug 449475)
- menubars (and menus) don't allow to set any color (and don't inherit
it from the shell)
- scrollbars don't inherit the colors from their belonging control
Is there someone who has enough Win32-API-knowledge to confirm whether
setting colors for menubars or scrollbars is supported by the Win32-API?

Thomas Singer
