Eclipse 3.6 styling with CSS and the ThemeManager

by Lars Vogel / June 15th, 2010

Tom Schindl and Kai Tödter already blogged about the new Eclipse e4 ThemeManager. If you want to use the Eclipse ThemeManager and CSS Styling in Eclipse 3.6 you find an adjusted example “org.eclipse.e4.ui.examples.css.rcp” in the e4 repository. This example demonstrates the usage of the ThemeManager and Theme switching during runtime in Eclipse 3.6.

This is the colorful example. In case you are impressed with the design I would like to mention that I designed it myself.

For the German Eclipse fans their will be an article in an upcoming Eclipse Magazin describing in detail how to set this up.

I am very impressed by your colorful design, Lars. It looks even more impressive through my red/blue 3d glasses

Wow, impressive design skills! Reminds me of early Visual Basic programs (“Hey, I can make this control of any color!”)…

But anyway, this is interesting, looks like Eclipse is taking GUI ideas from Firefox?
