I am writing an own swt widget.
Now I am ready with the functionality an trying to style the widget.

What is the default strategy to get the actual colors/styles, which are currently chosen by the OS?

How can I mimic the OS Style in my own widget?

    You can access all the predefined colors of SWT using the following:

    Color color = display.getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_RED);
    

    Of course this holds for all the colors defined as SWT.COLOR_*.

    The OS’s default list background color can be accessed via:

    SWT.COLOR_LIST_BACKGROUND
    

    As for the mimic question:

    As long as you don’t extend one of the default widgets, this will be quite hard to achieve. Please add some more detail to your question.
