Hello,

I have a RCP app, that was based on a Juno target platform; I tried to switch to Kepler. Now, when I move a view inside a perspective, I do no longer see the green border / rectangle indicating where the view will go on; Instead of that, I see a light grey rectangle, quite invisible, since having the same colour as the default background of the application. This makes moving views much less intuitive for final users.

Is there a way to restore the previous behaviour ?

Note: Inside Eclipse Kepler IDE, I still see the green rectangle; I have the problem only inside my RCP app.

Thanks,
Bernard.

Does your RCP app include the org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.addons.swt bundle?

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your reply. YES, my RCP app. includes org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.addons.swt (1.0.0.v20130515-1857).

BTW, the app is running on Windows 7 Pro x86_64.

Best regards,
Bernard.

It's in fact possible to reproduce this 'problem' with the Default mail application:
- download & install Kepler
- create a fresh workspace and start the default 'Mail' RCP application
- open several messages
- move a message inside the perspective: there is only a light grey border around the view.

(see attached screenshot).

Note: swt.addons are part of the RCP Mail product.

Okay,

Finally I could fix the issue by adding styling support to my application, as described here:
http://fr.slideshare.net/toedter_k/css-styling-for-eclipse-rcp-3x-and-4x :

in ApplicationWorkbenchAdvisor, I added:
	
@Override
public void initialize(IWorkbenchConfigurer config) {
	Bundle b = FrameworkUtil.getBundle(getClass());
	BundleContext context = b.getBundleContext();
	ServiceReference<?> serviceRef = context.getServiceReference(IThemeManager.class.getName());
	IThemeManager themeManager = (IThemeManager) context.getService(serviceRef);
	final IThemeEngine engine = themeManager.getEngineForDisplay(Display.getCurrent());
	engine.setTheme("mail.themeClassicWin7", true);
}


In plugin.xml
<extension point="org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.swt.theme">
    <theme basestylesheeturi="css/e4_classic_win7.css"
          id="mail.themeClassicWin7" label="Classic Win 7">
    </theme>
</extension>


* AND *

   
<extension id="product" point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.products">
   <product
      application="mail.application"
      name="RCP Product">
(...)
      <property
         name="cssTheme"
         value="org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.theme.e4_default">
      </property>
   </product>
</extension>


The css files are available in org.eclipse.platform, I just copied them under mail/css folder.

Hope that Helps,
Bernard.
