I'm using Eclipse Helios and have noticed that the treeview in the package explorer now auto-hides the expand/collapse tree icons when I move my focus away from it. I personally find this behavior a bit distracting and was wondering if anyone knows how to disable it?
A:
My Eclipse started showing this behaviour when I moved to Windows 7.

This is Vista (and Windows 7, I guess) behavior. You can see it in Windows Explorer too. This is not an Eclipse issue.

Introduced in Vista (by design say this thread), the sub-directory indicators now vanish when the tree is out of focus.
And the superusers had only one global setting to prevent that.
- Right click
Computer > Properties- Advanced System Settings
- Under Performance click Settings
- Un-check
Fade or Slide Menus into View- Apply
But that didn't prevent the fade effect in my Eclipse session (maybe a reboot is necessary?)
Since SWT Tree is base on the native OS widget (TreeView), it will inherit its native graphic evolutions.
See for instance "How to change SWT Tree plus/minus icons".

I found a similar question on Super User which also suggested this. Tried it and rebooted, but seemingly no effect on Eclipse or Explorer for that matter.

@Michael: I agree. It seems the SWT Tree use the fade effect as one of its parameter, and not as the value of some registry key.
