Hi there,
I wanted to know if and how the Section widget of eclipse forms is
styleable withing RWT?
I've found no example of how to do so and just adding a 'Section' to our
theme.css seems not to work.
Thanks for any help

I did some work on this and we've been using it without problems.
There is a patch attached to the following ticket.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=213193
The patch does the normal eclipse form heading & section heading
decoration and shading. There are some other methods that need to
be implemented as suggested in the ticket, bit it does go some way
to providing a solution. Note that it uses AWT graphics2d to do
some of the rendering.
Cheers,
Paul

Noone asked for the custom widget theming documentation for some time,
so we put our efforts into other areas. But we will include an updated
help into the 1.2 release.
Anyway, the help that is installed with the RAP tooling is not entirely
out of date. The syntax of the theme.xml files, appearances, and also
the ThemeAdapters has changed (you can use existing RAP code as an
example here), but the steps to follow are basically still the same.
If you have any problems, don't hesitate to ask.
Best regards, Ralf

As do we, so we include this system property on startup
-Djava.awt.headless=true
