Description Konstantin Komissarchik CLA 2010-10-29 16:15:35 EDT 
The current implementation of the property editor assist popup dialog uses
rather plain yellow background. It looks rather dated. We need to modernize
this popup's appearance. Perhaps rounded corners and gradient background,
similar to Mylyn's notification popup.

Re-opening as multi-monitor support is still broken. I have two monitors. The
left one is the primary. If I run Eclipse on the right monitor and activate
info popup, the popup appears on the left monitor.
Comment 2 Konstantin Komissarchik CLA 2010-10-29 16:15:59 EDT 
Noticed a problem that could be related to the FormText patch. Haven't tried
to isolate it, so it could be something else. In any case, on my Win 7
machine, running with the patch, I've noticed a problem after hovering over
links in FormText. The links change color when you hover. The problem is that
they get fuzzy. I think what is happening is that old text isn't getting
erased prior to painting text with new color. Without anti-aliasing, this
wouldn't be a problem since the text would always cleanly cover up anything
beneath it. With anti-aliasing, you get some bizzare results as colors from
previous text version mix with the new.

From Ling Hao:
--------------

I did not notice any fuzzy text on Windows XP. Fingers crossed it is not a
Windows 7 specific issue.
Comment 4 Konstantin Komissarchik CLA 2010-10-29 16:16:36 EDT 
From Ling Hao:
--------------

Fixed multi monitor issue.
Comment 5 Konstantin Komissarchik CLA 2010-10-29 16:16:47 EDT 
I am consistently seeing fuzzy links on Win7 with FormText patch and no
problems without patch. This needs to be looked into.
Comment 6 Ling Hao CLA 2010-12-15 17:15:42 EST 
- fixed fuzzy text by copying FormText including patch V2 (
Bug 284393) into Sapphire and remove hover over behavior (to be consistent with SWT Link)

Verified using samples.
