[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: SWT widget borders not rendered correctl

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This sounds like a difference between the old and new themes on XP, see
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#xpthemes .  The surprising part is that
you see this difference with swt 3.2.2, because this version should always
pick up the new XP theme (the flat blue line border).  Is it possible that
the machines that you see the 3D border on are set in the Windows settings
to explicitly use the old theme?  Do you still see this behaviour difference
with a recent swt/eclipse build such as
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/I20080330-1350/index.php
?
