Override ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor [message #448577]

Hello

When I override this methods here createWindowContents and
createPageComposite, can I use the methods here regardless?
IWorkbenchWindowConfigurer configurer = getWindowConfigurer();
configurer.setInitialSize(new Point(700, 550));
configurer.setShowCoolBar(true);
configurer.setShowPerspectiveBar(true);
configurer.setShowFastViewBars(true);
configurer.setShowStatusLine(true);

Regards
Imogen

Yes, that was happened by me. Is there an other way to build a nice color
bar like ibm does in the workplace without losing the ability to use cool
stuff like the the coolbar.

I have overriden the createWindowsContent() method and unfortunately it
seems to me that Eclipse depends on several internal classes to render
some of the content. The TrimLayout, for example, is not available
because it is internal (Looks a bit like Swing's BorderLayout). The
CacheWrapper class is also internal. I am not sure about the
PerspectiveSwitcher, but I think it is also internal and you can't
really use it.

So maybe in a future release some of this classes could be made
public... for now I am extending or remaking the ones I need. As for
banners, I just added some CLabels to have some color bars with icons.
