Hi Ann, You have to distinguish between: a) CSS as a Language (e.g. selectors, pseudo-selectors,...) b) CSS-properties
We only support the very basic attributes like font, color, background color (including some paint types), ... and some custom ones (for CTabFolder). I've sent a mail to this list after we shipped 4.1 where I highlight some problems with our current css treatment because we are not following general rules here (e.g. it is good practice to prefix custom attributes using -vendor (e.g. -moz, -webkit,...)) and our own SDK-CSS is not even valid CSS because the selector some of the selectors defined are simply invalid if you read the css spec. Sad enough I didn't get a response on it. My personal opinion on CSS is that we advertised it completely wrong because people now think they can apply all CSS-Properties they can in HTML which is far from true because naturally SWT has constraints we are not able to overcome. I think in reality only toolkits who completely draw the UI (like Swing, JavaFX, Browser-Rendering-Engines) are able to fully implement CSS-Properties but as said that's my personal opinion and others may disagree.
