via ThemeElementCategory, while others do not. This change uses the existing descriptions to display in the description box and adds description for ones that doesn't have any entries to ensure the description area is not left empty and that available descriptions are consistently utilised. This aligns with the standard usage elsewhere in Eclipse preference pages. The main change pertaining to this has been merged in eclipse.platform.ui via eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui#3666 and the remaining part is addressed via this change.

Consistent use of descriptions in Colours and Fonts preferences
Some entries in the Colours and Fonts preference page already provide descriptions, while others leave the description area empty. This change makes use of the existing descriptions and applies them to theme entries so that the description box is consistently populated and available descriptions are properly utilised. This improves clarity and aligns the presentation with the approach used with the subtree elements in Eclipse preference pages and gives more clarity on what each entity is used for. The Colours and Fonts preference page shows a description panel which is empty now. There are already descriptions available for some and not available for rest and they are not being used so as to display in the box. This change adds the existing description usage to theme entries so that users always see meaningful information when navigating these settings.
