Re: [platform-ui-dev] Toolbar differences between 2.1 and 3.0

[Michael Van Meekeren <Michael_Van_Meekeren@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The Platform UI team is trying to find
a solution for Coolbars and Toolbars whichs looks as good as possible across
all platforms (GTK, MAC, Windows etc...).  We have no dislike for
native gradients per se<grin>, this is a matter of finding the general
solution (if possible) that works.

The fact that the coolbar got higher
or that coolbars with different styles have different heights is in the
hands of the SWT team.  

Ed, I think you should log a bug here
so that at a minimum SWT can document what you're seeing.

This changed by accident.  The Coolbar style was set to SWT.FLAT in
2.1, which had no effect, but in SWT 3.0 it causes most of the changes
you are noticing because the style bit is now supported.  If you lock
the toolbars, you end up with no visual separators in most of the coolbar.
 I think this has not been corrected because the UI team does not
like look of the native gradient.  I think the gradient looks fine
in Internet Explorer. 

The different heights are caused whenever a CoolItem's first child has
the DropDown style. 

Coolitem heights not consistent:

I was comparing 2.1 and 3.0 and  noticed that the shading and spacing
on the toolbars have changed between the  two releases. Two screenshots
are attached. The 2.1 toolbar was less tall (esp.  the second line)
and had a background gradient, horizontal separators, and a  shadow
at the bottom. Were these deliberate or accidental changes (i.e., should
 make a bugzilla entry)?
