Hello,
In the Sapphire Samples (0.3.2), the File Bug Report (View) appears to be using eclipse forms as opposed to the File Bug Report (Wizard) that uses SWT, although I cannot see this in the source.

Does Sapphire supports Eclipse forms? Please point me to example if it exists.

I use Forms for all my programming at present.

Thanks

Sapphire uses presentation that is most appropriate for the context. In dialogs, this means standard OS look-n-feel. In views and editors, the "forms" look-n-feel. When writing UI using Sapphire you don't control this aspect directly. The framework decides on the best presentation for you.

See various editors in the samples plugin for examples of Forms UI with Sapphire.

Hello Konstantin,

Thanks for explaining the concept of Sapphire.

Sometimes it is hard to let go of one's control. I was wondering if there would ever be any such option for the developer.

From what you said, every Sapphire application would look remarkable similar. Maybe there is someway of implementing ones own idea to Sapphire final look-n-feel. Any such mechanism exist. eg using CSS etc.

Thanks

I am not an expert on e4, but you may be able to style Eclipse 4.2 based application and then have Sapphire render UI into that environment. The result should be consistent with your application style at that point.
