[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Mac OS X [Leopard] Titlebar / toolbar look and feel

Hi Justin,
you are absolutely right! I also wondered how to achieve the unified appearance.
There are several other little things different which causes a none native look, e.g. the resize control resp. a Statusbar.


Does anyone know where to discuss this topics to find a way to solve it?
Will the future cocoa swt implementation fix those issues?

Regards,
Joachim

Hi,

Toolbars on Mac OS X Leopard now have a unified appearance with the titlebar - ie there's no visual distinction between the toolbar and the titlebar. The Toolbar section of this doc shows exactly what I'm referring to:

I'm writing an RCP based app and the toolbar just looks so out of place, like a Windows toolbar with a different colour palette :) Now I'm guessing the root issue is the SWT coolbar implementation? Hence I'm posting here.

So, is it possible for SWT to incorporate this on OS X Leopard somehow? This would make SWT apps look so much more 'native' on the Mac. Perhaps this is already on someone's todo list?!

Thanks,
Justin
