Description Robin Stocker CLA 2013-10-21 18:49:24 EDT 
In bug 402530, support for SWT color constants was added for specifying CSS colors, like this (it is translated to the color of SWT.COLOR_WIDGET_FOREGROUND):

  background-color: COLOR-WIDGET-FOREGROUND;

Currently, using such a constant is not possible for gradient definitions. Patch upcoming.

Implementation for review:

Looks to me that the changes in Bug 419016 did break this change.

Example: if I use the following in the stylesheet, the DnD color is not set to red.

.DragFeedback {
    background-color: SWT.COLOR_RED;
}

Still works here with the changes of bug 419016, but you have to use the colors like this (remove "SWT.", replace "_" by "-"):

background-color: COLOR-RED;

Yes, sorry.

Verified again in 4.4 M3
Comment 8 Lars Vogel CLA 2013-11-03 14:47:39 EST 
Still something is strange. In M3 (Build id: I20131030-2000) the background-color COLOR-LIST-SELECTION is not the same as under M2. M2 shows a nice orange which M2 shows white.

.DragFeedback {
    background-color: COLOR-LIST-SELECTION;
}

I leave the Bug in status FIXED, but Robin you might want to check that again.

I think the switch to GTK3 is responsible for this different behavior. I created Bug 420989 for SWT.
