Hi Al,
This would be an application feature, as opposed to a GEF (framework)
feature.
The intent of the theme item was to identify issues in GEF that prevented
developers from creating usable diagram editors. This was an extension of
the Eclipse 3.3 theme Performance and Usability. (you know what, now that we
created the theme in the plan, we cannot find any usability defects).
Cheers...
Anthony
