There's been no real discussion.  If
in e4 1.0 we get notification of widget creation from SWT then I think
we're there. Otherwise we need some explicit styling step post dialog widget
creation.  This could be part of some declarative UI approach, as
it is for the modelled UI, but we'd need some backwards compatible support
as well.

This is worth considering.  Open
a bug?
