Description Lars Vogel

We should improve the default CSS which the Eclipse IDE uses. 

I suggest to use this Bug as aggregator bug for all planned or discussed enhancements.

As mentioned in bug 420238, the immediate step is to use 'Windows 7 Classic' as default. This gives a good default again with most of the reported concerns fixed. Bug 385676 asks to do the same for Linux.

Classic without MRU enabled, right?

Personally, I like MRU, but to avoid confusion, I'd say no MRU for now. I'd like to see the MRU setting in the UI though (next step).

Switching the default to classic now, and then back to the improved current default would be confusing, hence we will just continue to gradually improve the current theme as covered by this bug.

I've removed bug 421657 from the dependent list, since that does (and should) not affect the presentation.

Yes, thanks Lars.

Marking as fixed

I close this one, as having an aggregator bug for the issue did not turn out to be very useful (for me).
