Description Tod Creasey CLA 2002-03-20 12:05:58 EST 
The tabs on the editor windows use the background colour and text colour of the 
java editor for thier disabled colours. They should use the same colours as the 
views when disabled.

STEPS
1) Set your windows settings to high contrast black when all others are the 
defaults
2) Open an Eclipse with an editor open
3) Remove focus from the editor. The text will be black as will the back ground 
of the tab
4) Reset to windows standard and set your window background colour to blue. The 
tab will be blue, not gray (like the Views) on deselection.

The problem is actually different - we were slamming the color of the text 
foreground to be black  - this is wrong in high contrast blank. As the editor 
gradient is based on the list background color I changed the text color to be 
the list foreground color.
