Exposing Shell's Styles by default [message #721070] |

It seems that right now when I create an SWT application, I can't change any of the shell's styles from the Designer, until I manually change the call to the shell's constructor and pass it some style bits.
I think it would be much more user friendly if the Layout option was exposed without having to modify code to do it.
I see two ways to do it:
1) Pass a few style bits by default so that it always appears (for example, SHELL_TRIM for Application Windows, and DIALOG_TRIM for dialogs).
2) Leave the call to the shell's default consturctor as it is, but still add a Styles item in the property pane.
I'm not sure if the 2nd option is that good, because when Styles item is empty (it shows "[]") the style bits are set to SWT.NONE, and if it will look the same for the default style it may confuse users.
