Hello,
I'm trying to deeply customize the current Eclipse 3.6 interface. By what I've seen so far, I know it's possible to easily change the look and feel of your Eclipse RCP applications, or the whole Eclipse 4.0 interface by creating a .css file and using e4 and the extension point "org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.swt.theme".
I've checked some examples and I've change the Eclipse 4 interface very easily as it change automatically, but with the Eclipse 3.X something has to be changed manually, but I don't know how what and how to deal with that.
All the help, opinions, suggestions will be highly appreciate.
Thank you for advanced.
Ivan RAICHS.

Hi,
As outlined in my first response. Yes one can theme with CSS the inner
parts of the View/Editor and maybe the Toolbar but you'll be unable to
theme the Tabs and e.g. make use of the advanced CTabRendering done in
Eclipse 4.x.

For the IBM-Lotus Symphony theming you also need their custom controls
you'll need to write Custom Controls (at least they've written some of
them).
The Persentation API provided by 3.x is though quite limited if you need
better control over all aspects of rendering I'd suggest you give 4.1 a
spin. All you 3.x plug-ins will run there unmodified using the compat layer.
