| Grid selection background color when not in focus [message #47074] |

I'm converting from Table to Grid and noticed a difference in the color of
selection background when the control loses focus. In the Table, the
selection color changes from blue to gray (on my machine). In the Grid, the
selection color stays the same regardless of focus. Is there a setting to
turn this behavior on? Do I have to try to manage the background colormy
self via a listener? Is this a bug?
I am using the Grid in multiple views in an RCP application. It's obvious
that Table is losing focus when I activate a different view, however, that's
not the case with Grid and presents a usability problem for our users.
Thanks,
-Ryan Norris

Hi Ryan,
Grid does not have this behavior. SWT currently doesn't provide a color
that corresponds to the unfocused selection color. I've added an SWT
feature request here:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=216700
You can't easily change this color yourself. You could do this if you
wrote your own cell renderer but (depending on your grid) its not a
particularly easy task. Also, you would have to hard code some
unfocused color that would work for you until SWT adds the system color
lookup.
Regards,
