Re: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] CSS DOM Binding

["Gorkem Ercan" <gercan@xxxxxxx>]

Widget created is usefull but regardless of the API, I would like see
CSS supported by the SWT component. In some cases the toolkit that is
used for the SWT implementation can support CSS and it may actually be
possible to also utilize that.
