Any ideas of the likelihood of this getting addressed?

I would suggest logging a report with swt at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform&component=SWT


and include the link to the developer.apple.com document.

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:



http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/XHIGWindows/chapter_18_section_4.html




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


interestingly enough, I just wrote the code to do it... and was asking how to share it.


Would love to see a screenshot, if it's difficult to share/roll in the changes.
