Hi Karl,
Please report any problems you find!

What does this mean? Does it not integrate into the L&F?

Please file a bug. So that we can reproduce.

That's strange because this something happening on the lower level
because we are reusing the PDE code unmodified.

The find is only searching inside your plug-in (currently not even the
classpath).

That's a known problem. See
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=321019
There are a lot things in the Model-Tooling that needs work but
apparently I'm not having enough spare time :-(
I can only hope that I can find the time to work on this but I can't
guarantee.

That's unexpected? Can you file a bug and attach a stack?

That's unexpected? Can you file a bug and attach a stack?

Yes, but I do not know, whether it is the fault of the gtk-style or of eclipse.
I am using KDE4 with the oxygen style and with the gtk-style oxygen-molecule for gtk-applications. Part of the phenomenon can be seen in the screenshots I added to the bug report https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=333965, e.g. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=188480. As you can see, the toolbar buttons are displayed as grey squares with the icons printed on them. The toolbar buttons do not assume the background color, they are always grey, also, e.g. in the headers of forms, where the background color should be something like blue. Furthermore, when I use css-styling, the background color of the toolbar buttons is not affected.
This depends on the gtk-style I am using. For a handfull of gtk-styles the effect is as described, for other styles, the buttons assume the background color as expected.
Although this might point to the gtk-styles as cause, I am not sure about that, since I can observe this effect only with eclipse, not with any other gtk-application I am using.
As mentioned, this problem can be observed with eclipse 3.6 and 4.1M5.
Another problem is the border of text fields in eclipse forms. If they are multiline, they have borders with one black line, I think one pixel wide. One-line textfields have two black border lines of different size for certain gtk-styles, which does not look nice.
Do you have any idea?
