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.

Please share your thoughts if you believe the Eclipse high contrast theme adds value.

Best regards, Lars
