Run the attached example. Select a row in the table. You should notice how the image is not painted properly. Now select an item in the tree. The image is properly painted. See the attached screenshot as well.

FH, didn't Florian submit a patch for this one?  Did we already fix it?

Do you mean bug 127216? That covers a different issue. (Actually, you're right,
it's about check box shades too, but real table check boxes, not item images
that happen to depict a check box.)

This report, I think, boils down to two things:

  1) The table widget applies a shade to an item image in a selected row
     while the tree widget doesn't.
     -> Platform behaviour
  2) The shade on the table item image doesn't look good.
     -> This can be improved if the reporter installs a manifest file

Could you please explain what do you mean by "installing a manifest file"?
Thanks, Valentin

> Could you please explain what do you mean by "installing a manifest file"?

This means adding a javaw.exe.manifest file to the bin folder of your
respective JRE installation (e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin).

When this file is present, Windows XP will give your SWT application
a properly-themed look. As a side-effect, the shade on your table item image
will be less grainy. (Note, however, that there will still be a difference
in appearance when compared to a tree item.)

Unless Florian has some ideas, I'd suggest we close this.
Comment 8 Steve Northover CLA 2006-04-03 16:37:32 EDT 
Actually, let's close it now since using the manifest file fixes it.
Comment 9 Valentin Baciu CLA 2006-09-25 12:07:54 EDT 
Closing.
