Hi:

I have one SWT application with Windows XP skin(for this I use the
reference in

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/platform-swt-home/f aq.html?rev=1.42#xpthemes).
The buttons with single text show the right appearance, but the buttons
with image( using setImage() method) don't show the windows xp.

¿somebody can help me?.

Marcos.

The actual native windows xp button doesn't support
images. Thus, SWT reverts to the older windows skin for that button.
It does the same thing with colors. You'll find a similar thing on
MacOS X where the native button widget doesn't support images. Thus,
SWT uses a separate widget to display them. And on GTK, SWT actually
places an image label on top of the button to give the illusion that it
is being displayed as a part of the button.

Just a work-around...

I always use ToolBars wherever I need buttons with images, even for single
buttons...
The look is slightly different than a usual button but ToolItems display the
images properly and respect their transparency settings.

regards,

Mani
