#120 Include supplementary presentations
Eclipse presentations are a about skinning the Eclipse
specific controls. These change the overall look of the
user interface.
Some presentations might be better suited for
JCommander than the default one. My problem with the
current presentation is the way grouped views (the
JCommander tabs) are drawn. The inactive tabs are meld
together and are not easily distinguishable. I would
prefer to have a presentation which solves this problem.
Some ideas:
- VS Presentation -

- The Eclipse21 Presentation -

The VS Presentation seems better suited since in this

inactive views have their icons displayed and the tabs
are clearly separated.

If anyone wondered why IBM is developing the Rich Client
Platform...
Would be nice to use that "presentation".

I'm not sure about this. By default SWT uses native controls
and the presentation concept is only for the higher level
JFace controls that do not have equivalent in the operating
system. The "Hanover" presentation seems a complete change
of the SWT controls.
In general I'm for skins on the operating system level and
not application level. What's the point of making one
application look cool and behave differently while the rest
look like rubbish (think of Winamp running on Windows 9x)?
