The External Tools dialog that is opened from the Run... menu is cut off in 
High Contrast

This is also an issue for the Run dialog which I think is done the same way.

Tod, what is the general mechanism for handling this?

Comment 3 Tod Creasey

Usually trying to make the dialog more horizontal - we have a tendency of 
making our dialogs too deep.

Also check that any height hints you are using are not causing this.

Nothing to do with height hints. 

We are following the SDK "standard" of putting list viewer modifying buttons 
down the right hand side of the viewer.  There is no way on 1024*768 with this 
kind of layout to make this work. This would lead to some type of scrollable 
button composite?

Comment 5 Tod Creasey

Your basic positioning is fine but you could save some real estate by:

1) making your buttons horizontal instead of vertical
2) Removing spacers between widgets
3) Grouping more thingson the same line (like the location field on the common 
page)

We did these sort of things when we had similar issues.

Marking as LATER.  Will reconsider when we know for sure what the requirements 
are for HIGH CONTRAST.

Comment 7 Tod Creasey

Still an issue at  1152x764 (the newer requirement).

Nothing planned for 3.0

Comment 10 Tod Creasey

If this is not done for 3.0 we fail the IBM checklist and Eclipse based 
products may be rejected by government customers.. Why are you deferring?

The remaining problem that I see here is on the JRE tab for Ant launch 
configuration. The "executable" widgets cannot be made visible.

Comment 13 Darin Wright

Looking at the launch dialog in hich contrast mode, most launch tabs would 
need to be reworked to have all controls visible.

Comment 14 Darin Wright

2004-05-27 09:54:04 EDT

Do not plan to address for 3.0

Comment 15 Denis Roy

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
