The tools look like buttons because they ARE toggle buttons. White buttons
seemed counter-intuitive (especially when they had been depressed), and that
is why we made them gray. The changes were made keeping in mind usability
issues and what some of our clients had requested.
Several changes have been made to the palette's look. Apart from the
background color, the borders have been changed too (mainly to conserve
screen real estate). There is no way to quickly switch between the old and
the new looks. Even if you tracked down every border and color change, some
new features are bound to create anomalies. I would recommend against
trying to switch back.

With the new palette, groups aren't intended to be inside categories (or
vice versa). Groups and categories should only be in the root (i.e., no
nesting of containers). Groups are now strictly top-level containers (in
the logic example, the marquee and connection tools are in a group). If you
want to separate items in a container, use PaletteSeparators.
Like I mentioned in the last post, I would recommend against trying to
switch back to the old look.
As for putting the palette on the LHS in the editor, that is very simple to
do. Replace the createPartControl(Composite) method of
GraphicalEditorWithPalette, with the following:
public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
Splitter splitter = new Splitter(parent, SWT.HORIZONTAL);
createPaletteViewer(splitter);
createGraphicalViewer(splitter);
splitter.setWeights(new int[] {1,6});
}
