I quite bored in Eclipse User Interface
Why there is no Look and Feel Switch in it?
I just use the trial version of IntelliJ IDEA.
And just love the CTRL + ` to switch to another Look and Feel
Very beatiful...
Can The Foundation treat it seriously?

I do some googling with "eclipse skin"
( http://www.google.com/search?q=eclipse+skin&start=0& start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=flock&rls=F lockInc.:en-US:official)
and found this : http://andrei.gmxhome.de/skins/index.html
From the website: "This skin does not only have all "default" Eclipse
presentation features but adds much more useful things like fully
customizable opened/closed editor lists, really useful tab area with
predictable tab ordering policy, clear and space - saving look, much more
customization options like the tab size / padding / border / color / fonts,
"on-the-fly" themes switch support without to "reboot" Eclipse etc."
I use it now.
here is the update site: http://andrei.gmxhome.de/eclipse/
I think it will be fun if there is more Eclipse Skin through out the
Internet!!!
