Hi for everyone!
Is there a way to change the standard look of the views? For example can i
change the color of the view's tabs?

Thanks and regards,

Alejandro

Are you asking to do this programmatically for a plugin you are developing
or as a user who doesn't like the default colour of the tabs?
If you are asking for the latter, try :

Select from the top menu Window -> Preferences
Go to the Workbench -> Colors and Fonts preference page.
Expand Workbench in the tree.

There are a number of colours that you can change. The result is shown in
the example folder below.

This is a Workbench framework question. Try asking on
news://news.eclipse.org/eclipse.platform

From the CTabFolder perspective, it is not possible to change the background
or foreground colours for just one tab. The supported granularity is the
selected tab and all the other tabs. If you want to make a tab stand out,
you change the font to be, for example, italic or bold. This technique is
used by the Problems view.
