HI I made some hops to port my oldschool rcp to riena ui. Now one of the
first Problems I have is that my app works with editors. I tried to
enable the editorarea but that doesnt help. is there a chance to make
riena aware of the editor concept ?
I noticed that I dont see my view menu and the view toolbar is rendered
in the navigation area. Is there something I have to do to fix this ?
Where can I find something about branding the ui ? (Put my logo in it etc)
Regards Thomas

Hi Thomas,
right Riena currently does not support editors. One reason probably was that editors are mostly used for "views" that
should be visible in multiple perspectives. Since we use perspectives only internally to model subapplications there
wasnt such a need.
So I'd like to understand why you want editors or what your expectation is. Is it that you want to use editors like
views that should be attached to a single node. Or is your expectation that all editors should be visible in all
subapplications automatically (which is not what the riena ui model is made for really).
So maybe you can enter a bugzilla for that and describe a little more what you expectation is and we can then discuss
there the how and when of this feature.
does that work for you ?

Hi,
UI branding in Riena is limited on the widget of the Riena navigation.
These widgets are used at the top (e.g. logo) and the left side of the
application. To define the look Riena uses Look&Feel and Themes (similar
to Swing). If you only want to change colors, images, fonts etc., you
must write your own theme. If you want to change the e.g. the shape of a
Riena navigation widgets, you must override existing renderers.
In the Wiki of Riena there is a Look&Feel documentation:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Riena_Look_and_Feel
The default Riena Look&Feel is define in the two classes RienaDeaultLnf
and RienaDefaultTheme.
The sample application “org.eclipse.riena.example.client” has an
alternative look. The classes are: ExampleLnf and ExampleTheme
In Riena only the application has a menu and a tool bar.
In Riena we define the menu and tool bar of the application only with
the (new) extensions “org.eclipse.ui.commands”, “org.eclipse.ui.menus”
and “org.eclipse.ui.handlers“. And only for these items the framework
creates Ridgets (e.g. IMenuItemRidget, IToolItemRidget). In your
controller (SubApplicationController) you can get these Ridgets using
the method “getMenuActionRidget”/”getToolbarActionRidget”. You need
these Ridgets to modify the items (e.g. disable menu item).
I hope these answers will help you.
Regards
Thorsten
