Description Tod Creasey CLA 2002-04-11 09:33:59 EDT
The Welcome Editor calls SWT.COLOR_BLUE directly. This would not be readable if 
the background color for windows is also blue. We should consider adding a 
hyperlink color option to the JFaceColors to allow this.

See setLinkRanges(StyledText, int[][]) - 
org.eclipse.ui.internal.dialogs.WelcomeEditor

Would you suggest still using SWT.COLOR_BLUE for the default?
The problem is this would force the user to go to preferences and change it if 
the background was blue. But if SWT does not provide any other appropriate 
color then I suppose this is the best we can do.

Fixed in build > 20020412 to use new hyperlink color preference.
