The `Colors and Fonts` preferences page has been modernized with improved usability and UI consistency.
97+
98+
Key improvements include:
99+
* Added a dedicated Collapse All toolbar action for quickly collapsing the full tree.
100+
* Replaced the older-style expand button with modern toolbar-based Expand All and Collapse All actions.
101+
* Improved alignment and spacing of the filter field, tree viewer, and action controls to better match other Eclipse preference pages.
102+
103+
These updates make the `Colors and Fonts` page easier to navigate, especially when working with larger theme hierarchies.
