It is difficult for us to gather requirements without being able to communicate with the person in question. Does this person's email address correspond to a bugzilla account?
No. I sent them a link to the bug so they could follow the discussion and post as required. -M.
Any question can be forward to me. The suggestion is to color tab name of source with a color schema that can be set on project property, e.g, on editor set tab background and foreground colors. This will help users who edit old and new version of source to know which is old and which is new without clicking on the tab.
Remy, Any idea of where this bug belongs to?
(In reply to comment #4) > Any idea of where this bug belongs to? Pretty hard to say. It'd probably require some API additions to editors (or at least a new constant for a property string key). And then some stuff will need to be done in the IDE side. Make changes to the property page and then have editors/editor inputs set that value. This is certainly a cross-component request. Setting individual tab colours aren't supported yet by SWT (see bug 280969 for the foreground issue) unless we spin our own renderer (which I doubt we will).
Actually, I guess this is pretty much a duplicate of bug 179453. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 179453 ***
