Roughly two weeks ago, I published an introduction to the Clean Sheet Eclipse IDE look and feel, an ergonomic theme extension for Windows 10. Happily, the feature got a surprisingly good reception considering its early development stage.

Thanks to the participation of dedicated early bird users, we were able to spot and resolve some nuisances with respect to the tiny scrollbar overlay feature of tables and trees. Please refer to the issues #43, #39, #38, #37, #33, #32, #31, #30, and #29 for more details.

These achievements offer a good opportunity to release a service update (version 0.1.2), containing all fixes and some minor enhancements like displaying the feature in the about dialog. The new version can be installed/updated by drag and drop the ‘Install’ icon into a running Eclipse workbench

or

Select Help > Install New Software…/Check for Updates.

Feature: Code Affine Theme

So, don’t be shy and give it a try ;-)

Of course, it is interesting to hear suggestions or find out about further potential issues that need to be resolved. Feel free to use the Xiliary Issue Tracker or the comment section below for reporting.

The Clean Sheet Eclipse Design

In case you've missed out on the topic and you are wondering what I'm talking about, here is a screenshot of my real world setup using the Clean Sheet theme (click on the image to enlarge).
