Description Remy Suen CLA 2011-10-31 14:19:24 EDT 
Some settings will not apply itself properly. A restart guarantees that the UI matches the defined CSS and the user should be notified that a restart is needed.

Lots of people complaining currently about the styling. Maybe this is something for Eclipse 4.2.1?
