+ <td class="content">
+ <p>
+ The Eclipse default light theme has not been updated in years. It is not state 
+ of the art anymore. All major IDEs have shifted to a different light theme style.
+ When comparing the different IDEs it is easy to pick out the design decisions 
+ they all share: 
+ </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>
+ We have been working hard on an improved version of the light theme that follows these 
+ design decisions. These improvement are not yet finished but are available as a preview 
+ version. 
+ </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.
