[nebula-dev] DateChooserCombo and different windows themes

[<christian.pelster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm currently experiencing some problems with the nebula DateChooserCombo and different Windows Themes. The scenario a simple editor with different controls arranged by a gridlayout. When I switch between the windows theme "Windows XP" and "Windows Classic" (via display properties -> themes/appearance) the spacing between the regular SWT controls and the DateChooser combo behaves different (see screenshot: http://pellepelster.de/datechoosercombo.png or example code at the bottom). Is there anything I can do to avoid this behaviour?


Regards,

   Christian
