Xfce and SWT

Hi,

I noticed that Xfce has some problems with apps using SWT,
especialy with grafics/icons that are repainted frequently,
eg. the torrent fitness indicator of Azureus or the folding icon
from the left slider of the Eclipse IDE.

Befor I file a bug report about this I'd like to have this verifyed,
does anyone experience similar problems?

I'm currently running Xfce 4.4.1 on a x32_64 system.

Best regards,
Marcus

Re: Xfce and SWT

Did you try with another desktop or window manager?

What exactly is the problem? I can't really think of any way that Xfce can have influence on this.

Re: Xfce and SWT

I made you a Screenshot.

As you can see, the icon on the left side of the 4 is not displayed propperly.
The same goes for the icon on the right side of the 4 which you can't even notice without knowing because it has merged with the background.

I used Gnome befor I switched to Xfce and I didn't have any problems there.
Since I didn't find anything related on Eclipse Bugzilla I asume its not an Eclipse related problem, so Xfce was my best guess.

Best regards,
Marcus

Re: Xfce and SWT

I just upgraded my xubuntu 7.04 xfce 4.4.0 to 4.4.1 and the desktop fonts are ok but the application fonts are too big! Firefox is at least 2 pts bigger than it was before and looks horrible. All the menu fonts are huge.

Hi Marcus,

This really is a problem with the application, not with Xfce. Maybe there is some environment variable that is set in GNOME and not in Xfce. I have no idea what it could be though.

I think you probably have a better chance of finding an answer on an eclipse forum. Unless of course somebody else here has an idea.

I'm sorry I can't be of any more help.

Re: Xfce and SWT

Hi Jasper,

sorry for this late replay, I was pretty busy.

Anyways, I did some research and I'm pretty convinced it's not a problem with Eclipse since I reproduced a similar thing with other SWT apps like Azureus.

I belive I pinpointed the problem down to the 64bit SWT libs as my 32bit notebook system is doing just fine.
Hopefully, this will be fixed down the line.

Best regards,
Marcus
