Re: [platform-ui-dev] Changing current theme from command line

Thanks, Brian. My understanding of how it should work is exactly how you described it, but that's not what I see. For example, when running Eclipse SDK 4.5.1 with this command

eclipse -cssTheme org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.theme.e4_default.xpolive

I get this:

(See attached file: missing_olive_theme.png)

When I choose "Windows XP Olive" from the list of available themes, then the Olive theme is working correctly.

The -cssTheme is equivalent to the ’Theme’ line in the Appearances preference page. The argument should correspond to a theme id as defined on the org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.swt.theme extension point. So ‘org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.theme.e4_dark should launch with the Eclipse dark theme from the org.eclipse.ui.themes bundle.

It works for me. What are you seeing?

Brian.

      Hi all,

      I found the "-cssTheme" command line option but it does not give the expected result. Does anyone of you know what is the right way to change the current theme using command line without going to Preferences -> General -> Appearance?
