+      <td class="content">
+        <p>
+        The Eclipse default light theme has not been updated in years. It is not state 
+        of the art anymore. All major IDEs have shifted to a different light theme style.
+        When comparing the different IDEs it is easy to pick out the design decisions 
+        they all share: 
+        </p>
+        <ol>
+          <li>Lightweight view tab design</li>
+          <li>Flat look - No use of 3D gradients</li>
+          <li>Views use a darker background color.</li>
+        </ol>
+        <p>
+        We have been working hard on an improved version of the light theme that follows these 
+        design decisions. These improvement are not yet finished but are available as a preview 
+        version. 
+        </p>
+        <p>
+        You can try it out by selecting <em>Light (Preview)</em> on the <b>General > 
+        Appearance</b> preference page. See 
+        <a href="https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/issues/2114">issue #2114</a>
+        for more details and the motivation behind these changes and to give your feedback. 
+        </p>
+        <p>
+        The improvements in the <em>Light (Preview)</em> theme will be integrated in the standard
+        <em>Light</em> theme once ready and the <em>Light (Preview)</em> will be removed again.
