Hi,
I am using JDK Mission Control as a standalone application, and I noticed the application has a theme setting (in the Appearance pane) but the themes are empty.
But when used as a plugin, the theme list is filled with the usual (dark, system, light, classic). And Eclipse discover when to applies the dark theme (in particular on macOS)
Disclaimer I am a complete novice to PDE development, so I have been reading here and there about theme:
Yet I can't connect the dots at this point to make this happen.
I understand that the app is configured to use the default theme which is the light theme.
application/org.openjdk.jmc.rcp.application/plugin.xml, extension org.eclipse.core.runtime.products
<property
name="cssTheme"
value="org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.theme.e4_default">
So from there I am not sure how to proceed, some tutorials are years old. For example when I try to add org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.swt.theme extension point it isn't found.
The sources are here : https://github.com/openjdk/jmc
Note at this point I would like to only make the standalone reuse the themes that ships with Eclipse.
Maybe at some point it might be worth investigating to tweak them, but I am there yet.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for the missing name, I think the forum is out of sync with the eclipse account system. I am Brice
