java - Does Eclipse look like native GUIs? -


I am currently reading about SWT, often written that the eclipse will be used as a SWT application in the host platform or OS The standard GUI looks like but I do not think so. At least under the windows, tabs of eclipse scenes do not look like standard windows tabs.

Why is this? Was it ever different? What about other SWT applications?

On some platforms, you do not find the original version of all the controls in SWT and then they have to be emulated. .

About "tab control", SWT supports standard tab control which is part of Win32 (and when you run it on OSX, you will see one of the standard OSX tab controls, blue ) But Eclipse has created a new control that is more flexible than you see in the Eclipse GUI. It is not entirely an Eclipse specific thing, you can see that the development of extended control for Microsoft Office And are not standard differential control all software available to do.

Anybody can argue that the control is worth making, which does not look like a user, but in the case of tab control, the standard tab increases the control at that point where all the eclipse features are used only To give more as a non-standard feeling. IMHO, this is probably less confusing in making something that does not show the standard of viewing and feeling, but does the same thing on every platform where you can get it.
