[eclipse-dev] Eclipse 3.0 New Look released to HEAD

[Michael Van Meekeren <Michael_Van_Meekeren@xxxxxxxxxx>]

At 3pm on Friday (after the M7 build)
we have moved a significant amount of new UI work into HEAD.  The
following projects were changed:
org.eclipse.jface
org.eclipse.ui.ide
org.eclipse.ui.workbench
org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor

This new UI work changes the look of
the main eclipse workbench window significantly.
See plan item "Evolve the Eclipse
user experience" (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=37997),
many comments have been logged here.

Here are some of the things you will
notice:
- Title bars and Tabs for views and
editors look different 
- Title bars and Tabs for views and
editors include icons to zoom them
- Views include a button for collapsing
them
- Perspective switching/opening toolbar
has moved
- Fastview bar can be on the left or
right
- Fastview bar size is reduced when
there are no fast views
- Drag and Drop has been improved (better
feedback while dragging)
- Detached views are supported  (Windows
and Linux GTK only, due to platform limitations)
- Editor management has changed - single
tab editing supported as well as multi-tab
- View local toolbar work is ongoing
- Experimenting with different uses
of colour
- Borders added to selected pane to
enhance focus indication
- Other miscellaneous items such as
status bar changes etc...
