How to set/modify the style of the application window [message #871237]

I need to set a specific style to the main application window.

In RCP 3.X this setting was done in the preWindowOpen() method of the workbench window advisor, before the application window was created.

public void preWindowOpen() {

IWorkbenchWindowConfigurer configurer = getWindowConfigurer();
configurer.setInitialSize(new Point(1024, 768-1));

--------> configurer.setShellStyle(0);
......

Is there any way to do the same in RCP 4?

In the application model I have defined a Window not a TrimmedWindow.

Thanks

The only solution I can think of is to write your own renderer.

Can you file a bug so that we allow this to be configured through CSS.
All we would need to do is to make the WBWRenderer access the CSSEngine
to query the shell-style value.

We can't get shell styles from CSS as we don't have a widget to look up against.

A workable approach would be to have the renderer look for SWT.XXX-style tags in the MWindow's tags.
