Eclipse switched to High Contrast Black theme

Hi,

Version: Juno Service Release 2
Build id: 20130225-0426

When I switch windows 7 to high contrast black theme, eclipse is also switched but not completely (see screenshot). Any types of tabs and toolbars remain unchanged. This is working normally with Indigo and looks like a regression. Also if the server has more than one tab (currently it is only Overview), then the non-selected ones are white with white text on them.

Best regards,
Nikolay

Nikolay, could you try the "Classic" theme, and restart?  The other themes explicitly set colours and the CSS doesn't provide support contrast modes.

But perhaps we should expose the contrast mode through CSS?

Tree[contrast=low] { ... }
Tree[contrast=high] { ... }

?

Juno is 4.2

Classic theme and restart did the trick.

Classic mode is acceptable (except for tab headers). Can this be made default when switching or starting eclipse in high contrast mode? High contrast mode does work in 4.x, but not out of the box, and that deterred me from upgrading for months.

I think that is due to the CSS caching which is implemented in Bug 423813. I mark this one as duplicate of it.

Does it work correct after changes introduced with Bug 423813 regarding the clearing of the CSS cache? If not, I think we should leave the bug opened (I'm going to take a look at it in the current milestone)

Reopen so that Daniel can investigate.

Bug 398852 introduces and selects such a theme, but only when the OS is in high contrast mode.
