Hello,
I would like to customize the workbench's look and feel like changing
View color header.
How can I do this?
Thanks

Do you want to change the presentation implementation (i.e. use
different controls to show views and editor tab folders), or just change
the colours?
For the former, you can implement your own presentation extension.
But this is non-trivial, and there is not currently much in the way of
documentation on how to do this.
The R2.1 presentation is defined by the org.eclipse.ui.presentations.r21
plug-in, so you could look at the source for that. See also other
threads in this newsgroup discussing presentations.
For the latter, you can define your own theme, providing new colour
values for the predefined colour definitions.
See the themes extension point schema at
http://help.eclipse.org/help30/topic/org.eclipse.platform.do c.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_ui_themes.html
See org.eclipse.ui's plugin.xml for examples.
To change the default theme for the app, add the following to your
plugin_customization.ini file:
org.eclipse.ui.workbench/CURRENT_THEME_ID=<yourThemeId>
For more on customization, see:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-ui-home/rcp/faq.html#customPrefs

Hi,
For the moment I just want to change colors.
I use the org.eclipse.ui's plugin.xml as example and I did It.
Now I want to set gradient value to have something like the
setSelectionBackground of the Composite Classe as XML value :
setSelectionBackground(new Color[]
{Display.getCurrent().getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_TITLE_INACTIV E_BACKGROUND_GRADIENT),
ResourceManager.getColor(255, 255, 255),
Display.getCurrent().getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_TITLE_INACTIVE _BACKGROUND_GRADIENT),
Display.getCurrent().getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_TITLE_INACTIVE _BACKGROUND_GRADIENT)},
new int[] {25, 40, 100}, true)
Is it possible to define this in the plugin.xml ?
Thx

No, the default presentation does not allow an arbitrary array of
percents for tab gradients, just two colors and a single percent.
To see how it uses these, look at the implementation for
DefaultThemeListener and IWorkbenchThemeConstants in the source for the
org.eclipse.ui.workbench plug-in.
