Why don't you provide dark theme?

SWT is originated to be provide native experience and native look&feel. Customizing all widgets conflict with fundamental philosophy of SWT. Jeeeyul's Eclipse Themes only customizes Custom Widgets(Such as Canvas, CTabFolder, StyledText...) Custom widgets are intended to be seems same no matter what native platform is.

What if native widgets are customized, There will be various side effects. For instance, consider some table based viewer. It displays dangerous items with red color, What if you change background of table to red, Then You can't see dangerous items anymore. And red color is dynamically applied through hard coded routine with intention of plugin author, You can't change it with CSS.

However, Jeeeyul's Eclipse Themes provides full functionalities to create dark themes. You can create dark theme with customize dialog easily. You may need additional user custom css. Refer Deploy Your Preset And CSS document.
