This is not an official patch and does not fix any bugs. The
improvements are aesthetic, IMHO.
I couldn't find my old posts, was the newsgroup "purged".
Basically, the changes are the same as before, with the addition of improved
look of the TabFolders in Eclipse. Maybe you've noticed, but it's really
difficult to see which Tab is active.
INSTALL NOTES:
place uipatch.jar in the UI plugin's folder. Edit the UI's
plugin.xml to include this library *before* the original library,
(workbench.jar).
place swtpatch.jar in the fragment org.eclipse.swt.win32/ws/win32/ (next
to the current swt.jar). Edit the plugin.xml (found in the main SWT
plugin, to include swtpatch.jar before the original library (swt.jar).
SWT changes are to the emulated widgets CTabFolder and CTabItem, and
should work on any platform.
DETAILS:
1) shortcut bar is moved from left side to top, next to ToolBar.
2) Color Icons everywhere, with the addition now of the
EditorPane's background tabs.
3) CTabFolder look&feel changes.
4) Narrower line number ruler, no commas in line numbers.
5) All dirty Editor's are pinned, you will never be prompted to save an
Editor that you are working with. (Let's you lower auto-close
threshold)
6) Tasks View has been changed to sort on priority of Task by default,
and have a narrower default scope.
