Drawing window borders swing look and feel

Does anyone know how to change the frame window border from being drawn in the windows look and feel? I want them to be drawn as a swing application. Can anyone help?

Frames (and JFrames) are top-level containers that are not subject to rendering by the Look-and-Feel manager (they are actually "heavy-weight" native components). However, in 1.4 it is possible to use an undecorated frame (using Frame.setUndecorated(true)) which you could paint to look like a JInternalFrame. However, I think you lose the automatic handling of resizing, moving, iconifying, maximizing, closing, etc.

Emty topic window in Nimbus Look and Feel

I have Java applications using OHJ. When we swith to Nimbus Look and Feel our topic Windows is blank. Helps work correctli in other look and feels. If I print topic it's is printed correctly, so information is there but it is not visible.

No, I'd say it is a pity that you did not initially use layouts when creating the code in Netbeans. There is no point blaming the tool. Well, some of this code is almost 10 years old (and i didn't write it), and back then nobody used layouts correctly. Even now java layouts are a pain to use compared with other GUI layouts (FLEX, HTML). Our customer just wants a prettier GUI on top of this legacy java app.
We looked at incrementally using JavaFX to slowly change out screens, but it doesn't support integration with a regular java application (why?)
Even with a unsupported workaround i cannot open a modal dialogs from JavaFX. I think they are targeting JavaFX at the wrong market, it is usless as a RIA and will never beat out Flash. They should have targeted it as a Swing replacement. Just my 2 cents.

That seems a shoddy 'solution'. Even the current code under the current PLAF might fail on another screen size, resolution, default font size or a number of other factors..This is true, unfortunately the code base is very very large (300k lines).

Swing: Look and Feel

I've found this page with a nice look and feel:
https://substance.dev.java.net/docs/skins.html#CremeSkin
But I can't use it.
I import this:
import org.jvnet.substance.skin.SubstanceCremeLookAndFeel;
And do this:
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new SubstanceCremeLookAndFeel());
But the import-libary are not correct. Hope somebody can help me! I'm using netBeans.

you can add LAF without changing of code. Start app from command line like this
@call set_classpath.bat
@set classpath=../../laf/substance.jar;%classpath%
@java -Dswing.defaultlaf=org.jvnet.substance.SubstanceLookAndFeel myPkg.myApp
see quick review of LAF's - http://sss1024.googlepages.com/

Windows Intune - customise look and feel

Hi all,
I have a question regarding Windows Intune.
To provide some background, I have a customer evaluating Windows Intune and one of the questions were.
Windows Intune will be integrated with SCCM 2012 R2.
Can you lockdown the home screen, set wallpapers and other display settings to display the corporate colours and layout? this requirement is cross all devices IPhone, Ipad, Android and Windows Phone.
thanks in advance
cheers

There are only a couple of customisations you can make eg. company name, portal colour.

NetBeans: Dinamically changing Look and Feel Problem

Hi there, Java lovers.
I need some help here!
I love java, and I used to program my graphical user interfaces by hand. In my applications, there is a dropdown for the user to chose the desired look and feel. Then I save the selected option to a file and on the startup I do something like this:
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(savedUserSelectedLookAndFeel);That always worked really fine. The look and feel would change and everything worked really well.
However, programing GUI by hand is really a PITA. So I was seduced by Netbeans. I am using Netbeans 6.0 on Windows XP, and I designed the GUIs really fast now.
The problem is, the system look and feel works really well, but when I change the look and feel of my application to a different one (Java/Motif/etc..) the look and feel changes but the components positions and sizes becomes all messed up. It really becomes impossible to work with a different look and feel because some components are outside of frames.
I believe the cause of this is because Netbeans generates the code automatically using Grids and stuff like that, and by doing so, the change of the look and feel becomes messed up. This is a thing that would not happen with my manually created code.
This is really troubling me. Does someone has the same problem. Is there something I can do? Or do I need to create my GUIs by hand like before?

Sorry for the delay in reply, but one problem for you is that this is not a NetBeans users forum, thus you will not necessarily receive speedy replies here to your NetBeans questions. The best place to send NetBeans questions is:

As for your question, you seem to already know quite a bit about NetBeans UI Look and Feel programming, but have you seen these:

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.

Look and Feel Issues from NWDS 7.0.9 on Windows 7

Dear Experts,
I have successfully installed a new NWDS 7.0.9 on my 18' inch laptop:
Windows 7 (64Bit)
JDK 1.4.18 (32Bit)
The NWDS starts without any problems however, i am begining to experience some erratic behavior from the projects i have created.
For instance, when i attempt to Edit the Application Properties for a WDJ project, the neccessary fields (and tabs) are not displayed hence i am unable to edit properties like the 'ExpirationTime' or create new one for that matter.
In some cases,i am unable to embed a View into a Window because the neccessary fields to aid my selection of the view i want to embed are not visible for interaction.
The same challenge occurs with EAR project; i am unable to edit 'application-j2ee-engine.xml' fields because they are not visible.
After some troubleshooting,i discovered that the screen resolution may be affecting the 'Look and Feel' of the NWDS itself,
If i reduced the resolution from 1024*768 to a value much more lower, some of these controls are displayed but with the desktop completely messed up.
Does anybody have a solution to my problem because this challenge is affecting my productivity?
Could my issue be as a result of my laptop screen size (i am using an 18'inch laptop)?

Hi Vishal,
first go to the download section in SMP.
Roughly follow this path (translated from german ;-):
SAP Software Distribution Center -> Download -> Further Download-Infos -> SAP Support Package Stacks -> SP Stack Download
From list select SP Stack SAP NetWeaver 2004s
A new window will pop up:
1. Select your stack
2. Usage Selection: Application Server Java
3. Next Step
4. Under SAP Kernel xx bit select your DB and OS
5. Next Step
6. You get a list of all components of you selected items.
Here you'll find NWDS with a filename like JIDE09P_1-10003480.SAR
You know the rest, right?
Regards,
ok

PushButton with Windows XP Look and Feel

Hi all,
I am looking for a way to give my buttons in my Oracle Forms 10gR2 (with Sun JPI 1.5) a Windows XP look and feel. In my formsweb.cfg I can choose between a generic and an oracle look and feel. The generic look and feel claims to have the windows look and feel, but unfortunatly, this is a Windows 3.11 L&F. Because of the overall look and feel of the Oracle L&F we decided on using this L&F but we would like our buttons to look like other buttons in Windows XP. I think this can be done by building a specific java implementation class but I have no experience with this.
Did anybody already build such an implementation class and willing to share it with me?
Thanks in advance,
Harold

The only way to accomplish this is with a Java Bean or PJC. Refer to the Oracle Forms Demos for some examples of what can be done with Beans and PJCs. Also, refer to the following page:
http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/categorie-450786.html
Forms Demos on OTN:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/products/forms/index.html
One other suggestion would be to use:
LookAndFeel=oracle
colorScheme=blaf
This will not resemble XP, but does offer a more professional looking application over the standard colors. BLAF was originally created for Oracle Applications, but works in all versions of Forms 6i and newer. BLAF = Browser Look And Feel

Windows XP Look and Feel

Hi,
When I use Windows XP style Look & Feel on Windows XP Title Bar and Scroll Bar disappears or the color is set to transparent.
I set Look and Feel using:
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
Even I run SwingSet2 on Windows XP and set the Look & Feel to Windows XP Style the result is the same.
Is there any recommendation about this?
Thanks...

I forgot to say that I am using Java SDK v1.4.2_4

Swing disabled components look and feel problem.

Hi All,
I have a Swing application. My system is recently upgraded to JRE 1.6 and I'm facing problem with look and feel of swing components when they are disabled. Color of disabled components is very faint and its being difficult to read the text in such disabled components. In JRE 1.4 this problem was not there. Please let me know what I can do to get the look and feel(Color and Font) of disabled components, same as JRE 1.4.
Thanks

..Color of disabled components is very faint and its being difficult to read the text in such disabled components. Why is it so gosh-darned important to read the text on a control that is (supposedly) not relevant or not available?
..In JRE 1.4 this problem was not there. Please let me know what I can do to get the look and feel(Color and Font) of disabled components, same as JRE 1.4. Here are some suggestions, some of them are actually serious. I'll leave it as an exercise for you, to figure out which ones.
- Run the app. in 1.4.
- Use a custom PLAF that offers a 'less faint' rendering of disabled components.
- Use Motif PLAF (I haven't checked, but I bet that has not changed since 1.4).
- Put the important text in a tool-tip.

I agree the leather look is horrible. It's just not a reflection of the cutting edge modern design we have all got to love over the years. If it has to be there at least give us a choice of looks.
There is a word for this (not that one) - skeuomorph. Wikipedia defines this as 'a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues to a structure that was necessary in the original. Skeuomorphs may be deliberately employed to make the new look comfortably old and familiar'.
Common examples are found in audio software with pictures of actual knobs that you turn, as here; and the leather-bound tear-off look of calendar and contacts on the iPad is the same principle: the intention is to make it familiar and friendly to people who might otherwise be frightened off by a modern look because they are not used to modern technology. The whole concept and look of the iOS operating system is being brought into use on Macs for the same reason, to encourage non-tech-savvy people not to be frightened of them.
This is all very well in its way, but in these two particular cases the result is unfortunate, particularly for experienced users, and it really ought to be possible to choose between the looks (as you can with the Mail layouts), even if the skeuomorph is the default.

Windows 10 look and feel thoughts

First off I want to start by saying I've run Windows 8/8.1 from the beginning on all my machines. With Windows 8 I didn't miss the start menu and quickly understood the advantages and the short cuts. Also working for a large software company
I personally made sure that we created a Windows 8 app and a Windows 8 Phone app. Oh yea, early adopter of the Windows 8 phone too which I still absolutely love. I'm not saying everything was rosy. I still have Win App API complaints
which I voiced on another thread years ago and still have the same complaint all thought I do understand why they do what they do. There are so many great features in Windows 8/8.1/10. Being able to log in once from any device and access the same information,
desktop and One Drive. Now I can't live with out these features. Home, office, phone, surface. I love it.
The second the Windows 10 preview launched it was loaded on my laptop and surface. Not even VM. Yes it crashes a lot. It's a tech preview. Of course it does.
I demoed some bleeding edge code on a bleeding edge OS to a customer. By bleeding I mean cut your wrist bleeding. It's a tech preview I knew better. After that tragedy, I had to get ready for our yearly conference which I planed
on using Windows 10 for but instead decided to reload my laptop with Windows 7.... I have barely touched Windows 7 in years. Why Windows 7. The start menu. I didn't realize that missed it and how much better it is to use till Windows 10. In Windows
10, I love the new start menu. Incorporating the live tiles with the basic Win 7 start menu ready extend it functionally and make it far easier and efficient to use.
This is where I realized the difference and it's really just purely visual, but that is a lot. It isn't just the start menu. I miss the look and feel of Windows 7. The features in Windows 7 don't even compare with the new versions of Windows but why is it
that Windows 10 still feel like Windows 3.1. Hardware has only gotten better. Even the GPU onboard of the newer CPUs is better than a lot of video cards these days however Win forms, shadowing all of the visuals that made Windows 7, well for
lack of a better word, pretty. They are all gone. Win 8 to 10 are all about WPF and that's ok, but even WPF looks and feels better on Windows 7. This is where the new OSs fail. I know that the difference in the way WPF and Win forms appear has been
highlighted on more than a few threads. But I think it's beyond that. The whole presentation in Windows 10 is just lacking.
Now, would I personally go back to Windows 7 on all machines because of the visual short comings of Windows 10. No, of course not. The new features are far to valuable. But I'll never demo anything with dialogs, forms and even WPF forms on
anything other than Windows 7 again. A 6 year old feature lacking OS that just looks more refined than the current OSs.
Just some thoughts. Some people might not agree with me.

I'd try them over here.

Jdeveloper doesn't show inspect pop up while look and feel is windows

Jdeveloper doesn't show inspect pop up while look and feel is windows

Thanks for looking at the issue Frank. Here are the points:
1. I debugging a java application using Jdeveloper 11g IDE
2. I had modified the IDE look and feel to windows.
3. The debugger stopped at a breakpoint and i tried to inspect the value of an expression.
3.1. Select that expression using mouse.
3.2. Right click on the expression
3.3. click on the inspect option.
4. I was expecting a pop-up window to appear. But it didn't come.
5. Later i changed look and feel of IDE to Oracle/fusion(blue) which is the default.
6. Repeated step 3.
7. Got a pop up window and was able to inspect the value.
Hope this info helps.
-Sandeep.

Tweak Javas Look and Feel

Hello everybody,
just wondering if you can help me here, I want to tweak the Look and Feel of some of the objects within a program such a menu backgrounds etc. I think that I am the right lines with this but it does not appear to do anything
I have a class which is called DefaultDEFTheme in this I am declaring the following lines:
public ColorUIResource getRedBackground()/*Could this be problem because getRedBackground does not exist?*/
return new ColorUIResource(255, 0, 0);
Then I have a class that is called DEFLookandFeel and I want to set the colors in the UIDefaults table, so for instance this is the code if I wanted to change the menu background
protected void initSystemColorDefaults(UIDefaults table)
Object[] systemColors = {
"desktop", getDesktopColor(), /* Color of the desktop background */
"activeCaption", getWindowTitleBackground(), /* Color for captions (title bars) when they are active. */
"activeCaptionText", getWindowTitleForeground(), /* Text color for text in captions (title bars). */
"activeCaptionBorder", getPrimaryControlShadow(), /* Border color for caption (title bar) window borders. */
"inactiveCaption", getWindowTitleInactiveBackground(), /* Color for captions (title bars) when not active. */
"inactiveCaptionText", getWindowTitleInactiveForeground(), /* Text color for text in inactive captions (title bars). */
"inactiveCaptionBorder", getControlShadow(), /* Border color for inactive caption (title bar) window borders. */
"window", getWindowBackground(), /* Default color for the interior of windows */
"windowBorder", getControl(), /* ??? */
"windowText", getUserTextColor(), /* ??? */
"menu", getMenuBackground(), /* Background color for menus, I am right in presuming this does not change? */
"menuText", getMenuForeground(), /* Text color for menus */
"text", getWindowBackground(), /* Text background color */
"textText", getUserTextColor(), /* Text foreground color */
"textHighlight", getTextHighlightColor(), /* Text background color when selected */
"textHighlightText", getHighlightedTextColor(), /* Text color when selected */
"textInactiveText", getInactiveSystemTextColor(), /* Text color when disabled */
"control", getControl(), /* Default color for controls (buttons, sliders, etc) */
"controlText", getControlTextColor(), /* Default color for text in controls */
"controlHighlight", getControlHighlight(), /* Specular highlight (opposite of the shadow) */
"controlLtHighlight", getControlHighlight(), /* Highlight color for controls */
"controlShadow", getControlShadow(), /* Shadow color for controls */
"controlDkShadow", getControlDarkShadow(), /* Dark shadow color for controls */
"scrollbar", getControl(), /* Scrollbar background (usually the "track") */
"info", getPrimaryControl(), /* ToolTip Background */
"infoText", getPrimaryControlInfo() /* ToolTip Text */
for (int i = 0; i < systemColors.length; i += 2)
table.put( (String) systemColors, systemColors[i + 1]);
UIManager.put("Button.select", getButtonSelectColor());
// Set the color for selected button */
UIManager.put("Button.background", getButtonBackground());
/* Set the color for selected button */
UIManager.put("Menu.background", getRedBackground());
/* Set the color for the menu to red background*/
Then further on I set this:
public static ColorUIResource getRedBackground(){ return getCurrentTheme().getRedBackground(); }
But i have left in the getMenuBackground above it, I have also tried to take it out but nothing happens.
I also have a class called DEFTheme and in this I declare the following
public ColorUIResource getRedBackground()
return new ColorUIResource(255, 0, 0 );
Yet after changing all of this nothing ever happens. Am I going about this the completley wrong way ie should I change the colors in the DEFTheme and thats it?
Please please help, this is becoming a real problem and I cannot find any relevant resources!!
Thanks so much in advance,
Z.

Yes, its a crosspost, but this is the correct forum since this a Swing related question. Your crosspost comment belongs in the other forum.

Below is the executable code generated using NetBeans which is enough to generate the error message. Sometimes you can get the error message just by running the program. Sometimes the error will occur when you go into the Menu and click on Item.
