How to change the look for local view menu [message #437029]

Can anybody please tell me how to change the look for local view menu?
I have a customer request that that small triangle for view menu should
be made more visible and have translatable text on it.

I can create MenuManager in ToolBar and add items to it (and remove all
items from local menu to hide it) but that way I cannot add menus with
plugin.xml and I have to do all of them in the code. It'd be nice if I
could use all the functionality for view local menu and just change it's
control/icon.

Thanks,
Andriy

To do that you would have to look into the presentation API and create
your own presentation. However given what you want is very close from
the eclipse default presentatino it should be pretty easy.

That said as I'm not a ui export, the only hint I can tell you is to
look around IPresentablePart.getToolBar()

Thanks,

I've taken a look and it seemed too complex to replace local menu, so I
just defined new menuManager in toolbar, registered context menu and
transferred all definitions in plugin.xml from viewActions to popupMenu.
