Hi everey one i am using eclipse Version: 3.6.2 Build id: M20110210-1200
I am using "org.eclipse.ui.themes" extension point to customize colors in my views with the follwing theme category structure.
Watchlist
>>Table Layout
>>>>TABLE_FOREGROUND = "0,224,0"
>>Box Layout
>>>>BOX_FOREGROUND = "0,0,0"
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.themes">
<themeElementCategory
id="watchlist"
label="Watchlist"/>
<themeElementCategory
class="TableViewerThemePreview"
id="tableLayout"
label="Table Layout"
parentId="watchlist"/>
<colorDefinition
categoryId="tableLayout"
id="TABLE_FOREGROUND"
label="Table Foregrount"
value="0,224,0"/>
<themeElementCategory
class="BoxViewerThemePreview"
id="box"
label="Box Layout"
parentId="watchlist"/>
<colorDefinition
categoryId="box"
id="BOX_FOREGROUND"
label="Box Foregrount"
value="0,0,0"/>
</extension>
I also added an extension point "org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages" to change colors
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages">
<page
class="org.eclipse.ui.ExtensionFactory:appearancePreferencePage"
id="org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages.Appearance"
name="Appearance"/>
<page
category="org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages.Appearance"
class="org.eclipse.ui.ExtensionFactory:colorsAndFontsPreferencePage"
id="org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages.ColorsAndFonts"
name="Color Setting"/>
</extension>
I am getting this color setting in my view by
Color tableForegrount = null;
IPropertyChangeListener themeChangeListener = new IPropertyChangeListener() {
public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent event) {
IThemeManager themeManager = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getThemeManager();
ITheme theme = themeManager.getCurrentTheme();
if (event.getProperty().equals("TABLE_FOREGROUND"))
tableForegrount = theme.getColorRegistry().get(event.getProperty());
}
};
when i change my colors setting with preference page, it immediately reflect on my view and also saved in property file named
\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.ui.workbench.prefs
ColorsAndFontsPreferencePage.expandedCategories=Twatchlist\tTtableLayout
ColorsAndFontsPreferencePage.selectedElement=TABLE_FOREGROUND
eclipse.preferences.version=1
TABLE_FOREGROUND=0,64,64
My problems is
1.When i run my application again i get the default value of TABLE_FOREGROUND=0,224,0 every time.
How i can get the updated colors setting????
How i can get rid from it?
I also tried suggesions of this post but no use.

I can't sure theme extension allows custom preference page.
I mean, ColorRegistry from ITheme may intended to read-only use.
As far as I know, a theme extension automatically shown in [Appearance / Color and Fonts]. So you don't have to provide custom preference page node. You can contribute custom preview by implementing IThemePreview in category element.
If you want to create just new custom preference page node than just eclipse standard one, I suggest, do not use theme extension. Just use normal preference page and preference initializer.
And how theme extension point serializes their client data is not an API. So you should not inspect, don't assert result from that.
