[cross-project-issues-dev] Retirement of Eclipse hard code high resultin

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We are planning to retire the Eclipse-specific high-resolution theme for Windows. It appears to degrade the display quality compared to the default Windows settings. Windows natively supports various high contrast themes, while our theme hard-codes values—often resulting in a less appealing appearance, in my opinion.

For example, compare the Eclipse-specific additions on the left with the default Eclipse styling on the right, using Windows' "Desert" high contrast theme.  

You can find more screenshots and join the discussion here: https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/issues/309.
Please share your thoughts if you believe the Eclipse high contrast theme adds value.

Best regards, Lars
