Description Judy van Aswegen CLA 2008-11-25 19:55:02 EST 
Builds: Eclipse SDK Mac OSX Cocoa & Carbon N20081120-2000

In the context of the SWT Controls Example, re the DateTime control:

Setting Foreground Color:
For Calendar style - affects only the headers (year, month and day identifiers), whereas for Carbon it affects only the actual days (numerals) in the calendar.
For Date and Time styles - affects the numerals (whereas in Carbon it has no effect). 

Setting Font: 
For Calendar style - has no effect (whereas for Carbon it affects all characters (text and numerals) in the calendar.

Setting Background Color:
For Date and Time styles: affects the background appropriately, whereas for Carbon it has no effect.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
