<td class="title">Preview Version of Improved Light Theme</td>
<td class="content">
<p>
After many years of stability we have reworked the light theme of Eclipse to follow more modern design principles, similar to other major IDEs:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Lightweight view tab design</li>
<li>Flat look - No use of 3D gradients</li>
<li>Views use a darker background color.</li>
</ol>
<p>
These improvement are not yet completed but are available as a preview.
</p>
<p><img style="max-width: 600px;" src="images/preview-theme.png" alt="Preview Theme"/></p>
<p>
You can try it out by selecting <em>Light (Preview)</em> on the <b>General >
Appearance</b> preference page. See
<a href="https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/issues/2114">issue #2114</a>
for more details and the motivation behind these changes and to give your feedback.
</p>
<p>
The improvements in the <em>Light (Preview)</em> theme will be integrated in the standard
<em>Light</em> theme once ready and the <em>Light (Preview)</em> will be removed again.
