Flash of un-themed background colour in StyledText widget on ide startup

[gregh3269]

Hello,

I have a plugin that uses the @PostConstruct to create its Part Descriptor (model fragment). I have a dark theme set on the ide in General | Appearance. As the plugin starts and creates the view (in CTabItem, in the view) I get a white background flash from the TextViewer widget and then it reverts to the dark theme colour as the startup sequence completes.

If I close the view and reopen the view, it I do not get this white flash.

What would be the correct way to eliminate this flash (if any) on startup only.

CTabItem newItem = new CTabItem(m_folder, 0);
..
TextViewer viewer = new TextViewer(m_folder, SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.V_SCROLL);
newItem.setControl(viewer.getControl());
Document newDoc = new Document();
viewer.setDocument(newDoc);
viewer.setEditable(false);

// This part flashes
//Color red = new Color (null, 255, 0, 0);
//viewer.getTextWidget().setBackground(red);

Thanks

Here is a simple app that shows the background white of the TextWidget before the theme gets applied. Make sure the eclipse theme is set to dark.

Launch the project, open the Sample Category | Sample View, close down and reopen the launch (without -clearPersistedState -clean) so the Sample View is show on startup.

I am doing something wrong or their is some timing issue with the css style engine?
