I am developing an RCP application and I noticed that my editor tabs and
perspective toolbar are right angles as opposed to the curves that Eclipse
has. How do I enable/implement that in my RCP?

Thats not the answer I'm looking for. Yes, that would set the curved style
for a CTabFolder, but I am running an Eclipse RCP app. My question is how
to set that style globally for all views/editors in an RCP app.

Did you read

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-ui-home/rcp/index.html

under "R2.1 Style Presentation" ?

The tab style is controlled by a preference. The default value is the
square tabs that you have observed. The eclipse IDE makes the curved
style the default with the following line in the plugin_customization.ini
file (which is in plugins/org.eclipse.product_3.0.0):

org.eclipse.ui/SHOW_TRADITIONAL_STYLE_TABS=false

Adding this preference to your plugin_customization.ini file should give
you the curved tabs. Review the examples at
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/platform -ui-home/rcp/index.html
if you don't already have a plugin_customization.ini file.
