Description Tod Creasey CLA 2002-04-10 16:41:35 EDT 
In many places we set the color for error to be SWT.COLOR_RED. In certain 
settings this could be unreadable (for instance if there was such a thing a 
High Contrast Red).

This setting would be used in
StatusLine 
ProjectLocationMoveDialog
ProjectLocationSelectionDialog
ContainerSelectionDialog
EditorPane (which also uses Gray)
ViewPane (which also uses Gray)

Also JDT uses it in LinkedPositionUI however they would have a use for our 
system setting.

Should consider providing an extensible Colors preference page.
Comment 2 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-04-11 16:06:27 EDT 
There is now an error colour preference. See the AppearancesPage in build >
