How-to use css to customise ECF views ? [message #1223157] Sun, 22 December 2013 15:56 Go to next message

Hello,

I have a RCP app, that includes some ECF view (chat room); it works fine.

I would like to customise the fonts of the messages visible in the chat room windows, if possible through a css file (Eclipse Theme).

According to the code of MessageRenderer.java, ECF does something like this (I simplified the code):

String RECEIVED_FONT = "org.eclipse.ecf.presence.ui.receivedFont";
(...)
ITheme theme = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getThemeManager().getCurrentTheme();
Font f = theme.getFontRegistry().get(RECEIVED_FONT);
(...)


Now my question is: what shall I add to my css file to change the font ?

I tried

#org.eclipse.ecf.presence.ui.receivedFont {
	font-size: 16;
	font-family: 'Arial';
}


but it had no effect (and I admit that I'm not a css expert).

Any suggestion welcome,

Best regards,
Bernard.

Eclipse 3 Theming and the new CSS theming of eclipse 4 are two different things. So if you want to style that specific text you have to probably do something like using the view id and inside that use the widget class. Please see [1] for more information.

Thank you for this reply.

Using e4 css file (and thanks to css spy), I could change some parameters of the chat view (eg. the background colour), but not the fonts.

I could nevertheless change the fonts by code, eg.:

        PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getThemeManager().getCurrentTheme().getFontRegistry()
                .put("org.eclipse.ecf.presence.ui.receivedFont", myFont);


so it's fine now.

Regards,
Bernard.
