更改jface对话框的背景颜色

Question

I would like to change the default grey background of a jface.dialogs.Dialog derived Class. On here I read that this has to be done manually for each control.

So far, I was able to change all colors, except the color around the "OK" and "Cancel" button area. Does anyone know how to do this?

Override the createButtonBar method in your dialog:

@Override
protected Control createButtonBar(final Composite parent)
{
  final Composite barComp = (Composite)super.createButtonBar(parent);

  barComp.setBackground(your color);

  return barComp;
}

If you are using Eclipse 4.4 you can set the color to be something specified in the application CSS by using

WidgetElement.setCSSClass(barComp, "css-class-name");

instead of the setBackground
