Don't see colors running SWT application under Linux SUSE [message #465558]

Hi all!

I have a nice SWT calendar with beatiful colors running perfectly under Windows. When I try to run it on my Suse platform the color just desapear! Ooops!

Is this normal? Is it a known bug? Do I have to change something in the application to see the color in the new platform? Am I choosing the wrong colors?

Please, some help will be really appreciated.

Thank you and have a good day,

Marian.

What widgets are you setting the colors on or are you drawing everything
yourself?

Can you post a bug with screenshots from both
Windows and Linux at bugs.eclipse.org/bugs against
Platform > SWT ?

I have one theory -- if you're under SuSE it may
be that you're using the gtk-qt theme engine. This
theme engine is extremely buggy and unmaintained, and
one of the bugs is that colours set on widgets are
not honoured. It's a mystery why SuSE is still
shipping it as their default.

(to test that theory, try running under GNOME)
