Form titles and section titles appear as gray.

The issue is not specific to the EGit staging view;the same can also be observed in other form, for instance the PDE manifest editor.

See also bug 519787: possibly not even platform-specific.

Happens on Windows as well.

This change was made in Oxygen M1 - https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.7/platform.php#flat-gray-forms-based-styling. See Bug 497024 for more details. 

Moving to Platform UI.
Comment 2 Thomas Wolf CLA 2017-08-14 06:32:09 EDT
Interesting. So that was on purpose...

For me, this looks so much worse that I thought it had to be a bug.

I have three themes on Mac available, classic, dark, and light (the default). None of these give me back the gradient headers. :-(

I really dislike this new look. But I'm certainly not getting into any "painting the bikeshed" arguments. Is there any way I can in a simple way provide my own css that deactivates these new rules? Presumably that would give me back the Neon look.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
