Configurable look and feel

Hello Java masters,
This is not question, but I just like to tell you about something I find today while answering other forum writers question...
http://www.javadesktop.org/articles/synth/index.htmlHe lets you configure look and feels using configuration file, and "plug in" custom renderers (like gradient paint filling etc).
He looks very powerful but I haven't read about him in the press - so thought I would (how do you say...) "give him a shout out".
Yardedoo!

Azureus uses a different graphical toolkit for Java (SWT I think its called) which can more easily take on the native look and feel of either GTK (Gnome's primary toolkit) or QT (KDE's toolkit) depending on whats running.
Most Java apps just use the Swing GUI toolkit (Java's own), which only takes on the look and feel of GTK stuff... totally ignoring QT to fend for itself =\. I use gtk-qt-engine to get GTK apps to imitate KDE's appearance, not sure if Java's Swing is affected by that though.

  • Start the SMC GUI with special configuration/look and feel

    Hello,
    I forwarding alarm to another management system. Now I might again back.
    I woulkd like to launch the SMC console and the Alarm tab should be shown directly.
    It would be even better if directly the information of an special alarm is shown.
    Does somebody have an idea for it?
    Thanks

    Hi Dholze,
    I need only the part "that link back to the specific
    alarm information withing a SunMC console".
    Do you have an idea how to create this Back-URL?
    CheersI know we have a small Java utility will launch the SunMC Console against one host in particular (i.e. instead of the user being dropped in a Domain and having to hunt for the correct system (default) they open directly to the host with the alarm (like double-clicking the icon for that host in the Console)).
    They will be in the Module Browser tab so they can see the alarm lit up in colour, not in the Alarms tab though.
    I think it's shipped with our Netcool integration software, but it can be used anywhere.

  • Notification center look and feel

    The new notification center look and feel seems quite unlike the rest of the iPhone.
    Most of the iPhone has a light colored, rounded, kind of comfortable look. But the new notification center has a much more dark, angular look. (To me, it looks more like an Android app than an iOS component.)
    Any chance it can be rebranded? Or failing that, any chance of a settings option to customise the background image, so I can at least change from the dark "linen" texture to a wallpaper of my choice? (e.g. it might look much nicer (to me!) if I could change it to use the default iPhone water drops background). The slide down button itself (the bit of the notification center graphics which appears on screen, even in full-screen mode, if you make the 'wrong' move) could be much more rounded, as well.
    Mike

    iOs 5 in general looks and feels awkward to me.  It feels cheap and not at all as polished as Apple's products have been in the past.  The alarms have new colors for no apparent reason, the text messages have colors for no apparent reason, the notification center has a distracting texture, again, for no reason... Yet none of these colors or textures are configurable or removable.  What was the point exactly?
    This theme shift is quite discouraging in the grand scheme of things.  It doesn't bother me much, but I definitely prefered the way my phone looked when I bought it.

  • Chromosomes and genes in portal look and feel

    Hi everybody.
    Has anyone experimented succesfully the use of genes and chromosomes in bea portal 9.2?
    I have troubles with look and feel editor, that doesn't show inlined css, and runtime also, that seems to always
    get the default.chromosome file instead of the one i configured in the .laf file.
    Any point? Thank you.

    In regard to your chromosome not working: if you created your .portal file first, and then changed the .laf file, you'll need to reload the markup from Workshop. See the second bullet item on this link: http://edocs.bea.com/wlp/docs92/portals/develop_portals.html#wp1011140
    If you want, before you do the above, you can check the markup of your .portal file to see if it's correct. Open your .portal as XML, and find the <netuix:lookAndFeel> element. It should have a attributes for skinChromosome and skeletonChromosome that equal your new .chromosome file's name.
    I don't believe that the Look and Feel editor supports inlined CSS rules at this time, but that is an optimization in scope for the next release.

  • Changing Look and Feel of Annual Appraisal document

    Hi all,
    I have the requirement to change the look and feel of Annual Appraisal document.
    I need to add a header to the first column in Appraisal document.
    I am confused as to where the changes are to be made (In HAP_DOCUMENT,Annual template or BSP code)
    Have checked most of the blogs and threads in forums,but no help yet.
    Please let me know where the changes have to made and how?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sumangala

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I checked "Document_header.htm" as you mentioned.
    It agian points to few other header files such as "Document_header_appraisee.htm","Document_header_appraiser.htm" .
    When i go and check these files,  the code refers to settings no of columns,rows. No link to Header text anywhere.
    From where these headers are set actually.Any configuration in template or header text are written in the code only?
    and also curious to know what this line refers to
    "<%= otr(PAOC_HAP_DOCUMENT_UI/TEXT_ADDITIONAL) %> <%= APPLICATION->doc-S_HEADER_TEXTS-OTHER_TYPE_TXT %>"

  • WEBUTIL_FILE.FILE_OPEN_DIALOG look and feel

    Hello all,
    We just implemented webutil on our 10g environment to facilitate with the upload + download of files via our forms.
    To my horror, users are complaining about the look and feel of the file manipulation dialogs. I fully recognise that this is a java based screen, but was wondering is it possible to configure the look and feel to a more Microsoft way! (euch!)
    Many Thanks,

    Hello,
    You are right to say that the LAF directly depends on the underlying Java runtime. JIintiator is JRE 1.3 based, so you have the look that comes with.
    Two possible solutions would be:
    1- replace the JInitiator by the Sun Java plug-in
    2- write a nice Javabean to replace the file selection dialog.

  • WebDynpro look and Feel

    Hi,
    I created a webdynpro application and deployed into portals. We are running Portals SP11. But the webdynpro is not getting custom look and feel what has been added to the portal by default, it is displaying SAP Color theme.
    Any ideas please?
    Thanks
    Vijay

    Hi
      Are your J2EE instances different for WAS and EP. If they are then what is the version of your WAS. You have mentioned EP as SP11.
    Note : In SP11 the below mentioned procedure slightly affects the theme. It works fine in SP10 though. See if the steps mentioned below is of any help to you.
    If you want the color schemes to apply for WebDynpro then you will have to set the theme for the WebDynpro application too.
    Download the Theme Editor available in SDN.
    Follow these steps
    Create a new theme editor project with the same name as the theme name in the portal.
    Import your theme file into WebDynpro.
    You will have to generate your custom theme and then right click and export your theme as a zip file.
    Then extract the Zip file to a folder.Copy the extracted files into the folder
    C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0\temp\webdynpro\web\sap.com\tcwddispwda\global\SSR\themes
    Then give the path in your Visual Admin --> Configuration Adapter --> WebDynpro >tcwddispwda> default.properties
    Type the path as the following.
    http://<machine_Name>:50000/webdynpro/resources/sap.com/tcwddispwda/global/SSR/themes/sap_chrome
    and also set the property useWebDynproStyleSheet property to true and then restart your J2EE server.
    Hope that helps you. Let me know if you require more inputs

  • Bug: Data filter and "Mac OS X" look and feel

    I am running Mac OS X 10.5.5 and SQLDeveloper 1.5.1 (MAIN-5440). I have the "Look and Feel" set to "Mac OS X." When I attempt to use the "Filter" box in the Data tab of a table, the autocomplete of past values continually selects the whole filter after each keypress, making it impossible to type normally. I have to type the filter into TextEdit, then paste it into SQLDeveloper.
    This does not happen in the "Oracle" Look and Feel.

    I'm relatively new to OTN, and don't see any place to view/track this bug, or file new ones. I searched around & couldn't find anything - is there such a place? This bug makes using SQLDeveloper on a Mac a real pain the butt. I tried switching over to Oracle look/feel, but then I get weird errors while using keyboard shortcuts (which deserves to be a bug of its own).
    On a related note, in case anybody's listening, I've recently upgraded from SQLDeveloper 1.2.x to 1.5.x, and the font used by version 1.5.x Mac OS look & feel is really small & hard to read (and very un-Mac-like). The old font (1.2.x) was much easier to read, and I'd recommend switching it back, or making it configurable. (If there's a good place to officially provide this feedback, somebody plz let me know - thx!)

    first it is looking into the web root and it is going to static root.
    Thanks,
    Venkata sarvabatla

    simplest is revert all the changes you made to what it was when you only had portal.
    Lets say your webapp had context /webapp and your site was accessed as
    http://yourserver/webapp. Lets say the images were under
    http://yourserver/webapp/framework/skins/yourskin/images/abc.jpg and so on for js/css.
    Then you added an apache and configured it to point to your weblogic for all requests (code and static).
    Now copy all the static files from your weblogic (via your build process) /webapp/framework/* to the same directory structure under apaches docroot so that
    <APACHEDOCROOT>/webapp/framework/skins/yourskin/images/abc.jpg is a valid path. Add a rule in Apache which states that /webapp/framework/* is served from apache (or you can say all .jpg,.css,.js is served from apache) and this rule should take precedence over the rule which says /webapp/* goes to weblogic.
    I dont know the exact details on apache , but I presume your apache admin will know. verify by adding a new dummy image file only on apache and access it over the browser. If you get it , then it means your apache is configured correctly, if you get a 404 it means your apache is still forwarding to weblogic.
    This has the advantage that developers can work locally without any change because all the paths are the same with or without apache so the site will work the same way on a local desktop as it would with apache.

    For a quick result, you can use Portal Templates with Portal Styles
    For a better but slower result, you can write HTML templates (page skins), with your own CSS.
    In both cases, you assign the template to the page. You can also use Portal Templates to mantain the structure of the pages, and Page Skins to change the look.

  • Portlet look and feel

    Is it possible to modify the portleet look and feel with JSR-168 the same as we
    can do with page flow portlet. I don't want to display the Maximize/Minimize as

    Is it something that can be configured in the portlet.xml file ? otherwise can

    please guide me   to achive this.
    the client is not at all happy with  present look and feel,
    so what we can do t achieve ths?
    Thank you in advance.
    Swapna

    Hi Swapna,
    Portalapp.xml is the configuration file of portal application holding comonents and services. Where as authschemes.xml file is used to determin and tell portal which of the user authentication schemes is to be used. It also tells portal about which logon PAR file should be used. It is defined inside following tags.
    <frontendtarget>Logon PAR File Name</frontendtarget>.
    Take a scenario for example. You have created a custom logon PAR file and made some changes. You cannot see the changes before deploying it. You have to deploy it first. Now, you want that whenever somone logon to portal, your logon PAR should be referred and executed. Authschemes.xml does this work. It maintains a reference to the PAR file that should be used for logon.
    Now, still have to create a custom authschemes.xml file and upload it. (Follow this link for the authschemes file location http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1a/3afd4e641b8f42ac07bb77fe30375b/content.htm)
    Refer this link for details on authschemes.xml file: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d3/1dd4516c518645a59e5cff2628a5c1/content.htm
    Let us see in brief what are the steps executed:
    1) You request a portal login
    2) Portal, after receiving a request, looks for a reference to which Authschemes file to be used. It finds it in Visual Admin
    3) Once portal have the name of authschemes file, it parse this file and determin what are the authentication schemes to be used and which logon PAR should be executed.
    4) Only after these steps, it renders logon page to you
    Once you do all these steps, you can see the result on logon page itself. You do not have to look for deployed PAR file.

  • Windows look and feel instead, in InternalFrameDemo.java

    Hi all, I am learning swing and I am trying to modify the
    InternalFrameDemo.java source from
    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/examples/components/index.html#InternalFrameDemo
    My idea is to add the line
    JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true); in the constructor, but it doesn't work
    and I don't understand why.
    Could somebody please help me?
    Kindest regards,
    Lasse
    public InternalFrameDemo() {
    super("InternalFrameDemo");
    //Make the big window be indented 50 pixels from each edge
    //of the screen.
    int inset = 50;
    Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
    setBounds(inset, inset,
    screenSize.width - inset*2,
    screenSize.height - inset*2);
    //FDoesn't work
    JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
    //Set up the GUI.
    desktop = new JDesktopPane(); //a specialized layered pane
    createFrame(); //create first "window"
    setContentPane(desktop);
    setJMenuBar(createMenuBar());
    //Make dragging a little faster but perhaps uglier.
    desktop.setDragMode(JDesktopPane.OUTLINE_DRAG_MODE);
    }

    Uh I think you're mistaken. Whenever in doubt or something doesn't work as expected, check the javadocs. The link to the javadocs can usually be found really easily by typing "java 6 classname". In this case:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JFrame.html
    If you want to set the Windows look & feel as your thread title suggests, this was not the method you were looking for as the javadocs will tell you. That method controls if a frame is decorated or not (as the name suggests), which it is by default. Setting it to true will not change anything.
    So what then? You type into Google "java swing windows look and feel". Without quotes of course.

Maybe you are looking for
