Hi,

I have a problem applying the default.css to my application.

I added the extension property into my plugin.xml:

 <property
               name="applicationCSS"
               value="platform:/plugin/org.eclipse.custom.rover.client/css/default.css">
         </property>


I modified my css but I still get the default styles within eclipse.
After that I tried injecting the IStyleEngine into my view and style the buttons with it. Had no effect on my application.

The only way it seems to work is assigning a menu and a handler and have the handler change the style for the whole application.

From the tutorial however I understood that the default css assigned in the plugin.xml should be loaded automatically.
Is there anything I am missing? Unfortunately I did not find anything that helps me.

I didn't find a bug report about neither the IStyleEngine (that seemed to have worked in the past) nor about the default.css that isn't loading.

Sincerely,
Artur

This has changed and you now need to define a Theme using the
CSS-Theme-Extension point and the value in applicationCSS is the default
theme-id.

We should rename the configuration value to applicationTheme probably.

Hey Tom,

thanks for your help. Everything worked fine, but I have another problem with the css.

I am trying to apply a background image to a button im the css. I am doing it like that:

Button.style {
    background-image: url(image.png);
}



So this did not work, no matter how I modified the path. I tried every way I could think of and always got an IllegalArgumentException by SWT saying that my argument was null.

I did some debugging and found this code:
public String resolve(String uri) {
		if (StringUtils.isEmpty(uri))
			return null;
		if (uriResolvers == null)
			return null;
		// Loop for IResourceLocator registered and return the uri resolved
		// as soon as an IResourceLocator return an uri resolved which is not
		// null.
		for (Iterator iterator = uriResolvers.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
			IResourceLocator resolver = (IResourceLocator) iterator.next();
			String s = resolver.resolve(uri);
			if (s != null)
				return s;
		}
		return null;
	}


This is called when starting my application in order to resolve the given uri. There is always just one uriResolver in the class and the resolve method looks like that:
	public String resolve(String uri) {
		if (uri.startsWith("http"))
			return uri;
		return null;
	}


It seems like the only url that can be resolved is a url that starts with http. I added an http address to my css file and my image got resolved and inserted into the button.

I am not sure how to specify normal file images in my application here. can you help me with that? Is it intended that only the one class is registered as an resolver there?

Kind regards,
Artur

Hi,

You can register an OSGI-Resource-Resolver through this in your plugin.xml

----------8<----------
<property
name="applicationCSSResources"

value="platform:/plugin/org.eclipse.e4.demo.simpleide/icons/css/ ">
</property>
----------8<----------

Now relative URLs will be searched in this path :-)
