The problem is that the win32 widgets, when placed on the glass, don't draw properly. There is a lot of discussion about this and many people have operating system level hacks to get around it (ie. use GDI+ to draw the alpha channel). It's possible that the win32 problems have now been fixed ... I had a hack of this a while back when Vista first shipped.

Eclipse/SWT is missing couple of eye-catching that are common in web development. It would be great to see e.g. light-box like component. Thank you for sharing this. Do you expect to get glass for other SWT-supported platforms soon ;-) It looks really great! Eclipse/SWT is missing couple of eye-catching that are common in web development.

Thank you for sharing this. Do you expect to get glass for other SWT-supported platforms soon ;-)

Now we can all make our RCP apps look more modern :) I recall getting concerned about Tasktop looking a bit dated when I first saw Chrome. I wasn't a big fan of glass until I turned down my transparency settings, but it looks pretty slick when that's done. Neat stuff, thanks for sharing the tip!
