https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.17/platform_isv.php#dark-win32-menu announces that "SWT supports dark theme Menu under Windows 10".

I am writing an Eclipse-4 RCP application. Does anybody know how to make the pulldown menus use the dark theme?

And the same goes for the combos as referred here: https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.17/platform_isv.php#dark-win32-combo. How to enable it in your own RCP application?

It turns out to be described here: https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.16/platform_isv.php#win-dark-tweaks, e.g:

display.setData("org.eclipse.swt.internal.win32.menuBarForegroundColor", new Color(display, 0xD0, 0xD0, 0xD0));
display.setData("org.eclipse.swt.internal.win32.menuBarBackgroundColor", new Color(display, 0x30, 0x30, 0x30));
display.setData("org.eclipse.swt.internal.win32.menuBarBorderColor", new Color(display, 0x50, 0x50, 0x50));

Try reading through the source code of Display#setData() as it refers the property keys that are currently recognized.

The Combo's still displays a bright background color on the expansion button, although I applied this:

display.setData("org.eclipse.swt.internal.win32.Combo.useDarkTheme", Boolean.TRUE);
