Load image based on Eclipse theme [message #1859066]

Hi everyone,

I am developing a plugin for Eclipse IDE which now needs to have 2 different loading spinners based on the theme of the IDE that he's running on.

Is there any way to get the current theme of the IDE and see that I have "Light" or "Classic" or "Dark" or whatever?

The only way I found to do this is by getting the colorRegistry and see its RGBA color model (which is not really enough) by doing this:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getThemeManager().getCurrentTheme().getColorRegistry().get(JFacePreferences.CONTENT_ASSIST_BACKGROUND_COLOR);

Thanks! :)

I was able to check the current theme by using
Display.getDefault().getData("org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.swt.theme").getActiveTheme().getLabel();

Thanks! :)

I tried the following but I could not get the current theme of the workbench:
1. (WorkbenchThemeManager) themeManager.getTheme("org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.theme.e4_dark");
2. themeManager.getCurrentTheme().getLabel();
3. Display.isSystemDarkTheme();
4. OS.IsAppThemed();
