| Get styles from current theme CSS [message #1137111] |

In RAP, if I do not explicitly set colours of a widget, is there a reliable way to retrieve what the default style properties are? (prior to creating it)
For example, what is the default Button Background Colour, according to the active CSS theme?
I have found that I can use display.getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_WIDGET_BACKGROUND) for some style properties, but not everything is available this way.
As another example, if I want to know the default background colour of a shell, how do I find that? There is no equivalent SWT.COLOR_WINDOW_BACKGROUND.
Thanks, John

Hi John,
there is no API that provides such a functionality. Most of the widgets
have internal ThemeAdapters that read some of the CSS values from the
current theme. See ShellThemeAdapter class for example. But once
again... all these classes are internal and are subject to change
without any further notice.
Best,
Ivan

Thanks Ivan.
Perhaps when you have 'lots of spare time' (!) you could provide such an API?
It isn't high priority though, and I'm sure you've got more important things to do in the meantime.
Cheers, John
