Eclipse Juno: Padding between panes [message #897803]

Hi,

I've updated my IDE to Eclipse Juno. The new layout is acceptable but I would like to improve the use of screen estate by eliminating the padding between each pane. The attachment illustrates the padding that I would like to reduce or eliminate. Google suggests that the layout in Juno is dictated by CSS but I haven't found any information, other than the mention of CSS Spy, regarding changing the layout. I've installed CSS Spy from Marketplace and drilled through the tree but still haven't been able to change the padding between panes. Any help will be gratefully received thank you.

Hi, a theme editor has been developed here to let you adjust sash spaces with a slider. Maybe it will help you get what you want. https://github.com/jeeeyul/eclipse-themes

Great start thank you. This has eliminated the horizontal padding. The vertical padding remains unchanged. New screen shot attached for illustration. Is it possible to remove the vertical padding too?

(Personally I believe that these layout settings should be available within the core IDE rather than having to install third-party plugins. Maybe a later version of Eclipse will include these appearance settings by default)
