Hello varun,

Modify generated ???ViewFactory.createStyles() and set default color value
there.

This should work for the newly created elements; don't expect to reopen
diagram and see all existing nodes in other colour.

which GMF provides.

Hello varun,

Sorry for pointing you to the wrong place. Try setting correct color in ???ViewFactory.decorateView()
method _after_ calling super.decorateView(). This call (super.decorateView())
will change the color value to the default one stored in preferences.

Hi,

Is this solution outdated? I cannot find any ???ViewFactory in my newer diagram plugins.
I guess I would instead change the create??? methods in a ???ViewProvider now.

However, I think it would be nicer to have some default colours but let my user change the default preferences in her installation so I overrode the fillColor setting in initDefaults in my generated DiagramAppearancePreferencePage. The downside is that this default is for all kinds of nodes in my diagram. I guess I could set up preferences for each of my node kinds in this class? Does this sound a good way to go?

Thanks
Colin
