[news.eclipse.tools] Re: GUI-Editor will support SWT, new Home-Url

["Kevin" <kduffey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I should clarify. The actual "internal" look of Eclipse seems to be
different on different platforms, although I have only run it on 2K/XP. Now
that I am looking at it, you are correct. I think what I was thinking of was
two things. The tabs for editor windows are different, although only in the
way they function, so that isn't so bad. But what I had in mind is if on
GTK, say, I change the widget look via a theme or new skin, does Eclipse
also change to look the same, or does it use the same one GTK gui set of
widgets no matter what widgets/skins I use for X?
