SharedHeaderFormEditor with complex HeadClient and decorateFormHeading [message #327459]

Hello,

I'm unsing a SharedHeaderFormEditor and want to place a composite with
detail informations about the edited object (one editor for one object)
within the forms head client.
// creates the compoiste
Composite headClient = createHeaderClient(form.getHead());
form.setHeadClient(headClient);

Basicly the composite acts as a container within the head client for some
other controls.

Further more I'm using SharedHeaderFormEditor#decorateFormHeading() to
create a gradient as seen here:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Forms33/images/form- decorated.png

Unfortunately the as head client assigned composite appears with e pure
white background (toolkit.adapt(composite) gets called) within the
gradient of the form header.

Is there any way to get the form headers gradient assigned to the head
client?

Thanks!
