Java form look and feel changed

Whenever I load a java form application now, it seems to have reverted back to some non-native form components e.g.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/java/theme/theme.gif
I would prefer this to return to what it was originally and take on the appearance of a windows application. It may be something I have done in the code at one stage or another, but as it now affects all java applications it must be a global setting which has changed somewhere. Does anyone know where I can find this and change it back?
Thanks

Hi Gunja,
Thanks for your reply but it does not help. My problem is some of the YUI functionalities missing or not working properly after the Portal Component deployed to Portal.
For example, the YUI Overlay dialog box appears at the bottom right of screen but it is suppose to appear in the middle of screen. It work prefectly outside the Portal as a simple HTML page.
Any idea from any body?
Please advice.
Thanks,
HauChee

  • Oracle Forms Look and Feel project for Forms 6i

    Hello everybody,
    Recently I find a web site that introduce Oracle Forms Look and Feel project,
    Oracle Forms Look and Feel project
    http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/forms-pjc-bean/LAF/doc/Oracle_Forms_Look_and_Feel_project.htm
    Can I use the PL/SQL library (laf.pll) , Java Beans and PJCs grouped in a jar file (laf.jar) for Oracle Forms 6i?
    thx

    Hi Francois,
    I find one website mention the following,
    "PL/SQL tables reside in the private PL/SQL area of the Oracle Server database instance; they are not available as client-side structures at this time. As a result, you cannot declare and manipulate PL/SQL tables in your Oracle Developer/2000 environment."

  • Forms Look And Feel

    Hi
    Is there any way to get rid of Oracle Logo on Forms Look And Feel?
    Thanks
    Isha

    Here is another way to do this. At least i did this like described below.
    1) Make a copy of ifrun60.exe
    2) Run Borland Resource Workshop
    3) Prepare your own icon and save it to disk
    4) Open ifrun60.exe in Resource Workshop
    5) Substitue the icon to that you saved previously
    6) Save changed ifrun60.exe
    7) Run ifrun60.exe and enjoy your new icon

  • [SOLVED] Java GTK look and feel

    I opened a thread recently about replacing the ugly swing buttons in Java applications. After successfully modifying my ~/.bashrc, all was well. However, these new changes were only present when run from a terminal. I assumed it was because my desktop was still running a bash session that hadn't loaded the new options yet, so I restarted.
    Symptom: Java apps launched from the GUI still have old swing buttons, but have the GTK look and feel when launched from a terminal.
    My .bashrc additions:
    # Java stuff
    export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.crossplatformlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel"
    I use SLiM for a graphical login experience. Could this be affecting it? I'm not sure what happens differently behind the scenes when using a login manager other than that CTRL+ALT+F7 brings me to my GUI when I use one (because all 6 TTYs are still TTYs).

    I had a similar issue where .xinitrc wasn't working to set an environment variable. I put mine in ~/.config/openbox/environment and it worked. If you run openbox try that. If using a different window manager maybe try /etc/environment I am unsure of how slim functions though maybe there are config files for it. I think slim is on it's way out though (already lacks some compatibility with systemd; they may fix it though upstream I have no idea). But yeah try the environment file way and see if that does it (assuming you have tested your command from the shell and it works how you want).

  • Implementing Forms look and feel into oracle 10g

    hello, im using oracle 10.1.2.0.2
    i've been trying to implement this look and feel project hours ago here are the steps that i followed:
    # Copy the corresponding JAR file to your /forms/java directory. [copied it to C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\java\ and renamed it to laf.jar like mentioned in http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=693024 but copied also laf_1012.jar  ]
    # Update your /forms/server/formsweb.cfg file.
    As it needs the Sun Java Plug-in instead of the Oracle JInitiator, you have to create a special section that uses the Sun Plug-in.
    You also need to add the corresponding JAR file to the archive tag (not the archive_jini). [modified it to archive=frmall.jar,laf.jar, laf_1012.jar, i didnt know what to do with the Sun Java Plug-in but when i debug and run the oracle there is an icon that shows the java icon launched]
    # Copy the forms.css file somewhere on your disk (by default, it is searched in the C:/ root directory). [done and i've put it in c:\]
    # Compile the laf.pll PL/SQL library, then copy the pll.plx to one of the directories pointed by the FORMS_PATH variable.
    *i've put the laf.pll in my C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms as shown in the FORMS_PATH of the default.env
    *tried to open the laf.pll from the oracle froms and reports, choosed Program -> Compile PL/SQL -> All, but errors like PKG_DB_LAF_LOV.PREPARE must be declared ...
    *tried to compile it using f60gen module=laf.pll userid=Administrator/pass module_type=LIBRARY output_file=laf.plx batch=yes compile_all=SPECIAL but the f60gen is no where to be found
    *i tried to replace f60gen by envshell.cmd from the $APPL_TOP but i cant find any environment variable called $APPL_TOP, i even searched the whole hard disk for envshell.cmd and couldnt find anything
    Please help as this is the final step of implementation, waiting any response asap!

    Hello,
    Please, don't ask question about the LAF on this forum. Ask them on the dedicated mail address : [email protected]
    Thanks,
    Francois

  • HAP_DOCUMENT look and feel change

    Guys,
    We have designed a ZHAP_DOCUMENT which is running fine when we run from portal with user defined look and feel. However, when the Manager gets a notification in UWL and he uses the link to execute the application(i.e. a workflow getting triggered in the background), Manager sees the display unlike portal which is quite relevant to SAP standard look and feel.
    What should we be doing to change the display in Workflow?
    Let me know if you guys need further details.
    Cheers,

  • Where to find laf.jar (Forms look and feel project)

    Hello Francois,
    I´ve just downloaded the latest .zip-file (1343) but it seems to be corrupt. So I downloaded LAF_1342.zip which works fine. But where is the so often mentioned laf.jar ? The zip file contains laf_902.jar, laf_1012.jar and laf_10123.jar. Is there some renaming needed ? Let´s say renaming laf_1012.jar to laf.jar ?
    When I run css_updater.fmb it fails with POST-QUERY-TRIGGER error ORA-6508.
    It looks like I' m not allowed to use the PKG_LOOK_AND_FEEL even though laf.pll is attached and the program units are within the form, too.
    Could you please give a hint ?
    Regards Frank

    Frank,
    The zip file contains laf_902.jar, laf_1012.jar and laf_10123.jar. The number corresponds to the version of Forms Builder. So if you are working with Forms Builder 10.1.2 rename laf_1012.jar to laf.jar.
    Is the laf.pll available in your forms path (default.env). Default the laf.pll is in another folder when you unzip the laf_1342.zip.
    Did you include the laf.jar in the archive of the config file (formsweb.cfg).
    Regards,
    Mark

  • Changing look and feel with radio buttons

    k this is the code that i have so far, Yes i read the tutorial and stuff but it doesnt seem to make any sense and all. tell me what else i need in this code to do what i want, its the action performed part i didnt put the other code, what else do i need??? but well...you will see grips of duke dollars to whom can do it

    While not in the tutorial, I have found several other things necessary to get the look and feel change to be complete. Here is the code I'm using after I set the look and feel. It seems to do a pretty good job of sync'ing everything together.

  • 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:

  • Event on changing Look and Feel

    I want to know what event is fired when I change Look and Feel.
    Thanks,
    Pati

    Ideally you'll be using the UIManager.setLookAndFeel() to change the installed LookAndFeel. In the UIManager, the installed LNF is bound to a JavaBeans property using the SwingPropertyChangeSupport with the key: "lookandfeel". Any time this changes, a PropertyChangeEvent will be fired to the PropertyChangeListeners registered with the UIManager. You can simply add a PropertyChangeListener to the UIManager and listen for events that are bound to that particular property, such as...
        UIManager.addPropertyChangeListener( new PropertyChangeListener() {
            public void propertyChange( PropertyChangeEvent e ) {
                if( "lookAndFeel".equals( e.getPropertyName() ) ) {
                    System.out.println( "look and feel changed" );
        });The event encapsulates the new value and the old value so you can do whatever you need with that information.
    I used an anonymous inner class mostly as an example - You may need to consider a cleaner design for your purposes.
    Hope this helps!

  • Good looking �Look and feel� icons ?

    Good looking �Look and feel� icons ?
    Where could be found icons , professional looking, like in �Java TM Look and Feel Graphics Repository� site, for use in JtoolBar For various functions in java application program ?

    (I truely hope I won't start a flame war, but:) I absolutely can't agree with the statement "professional looking, like in �Java TM Look and Feel Graphics Repository� site". If there's one association that comes to my mind when I hear the words "ugly" and "swing" then it's exactly those icons.
    Nevertheless here's something that might help you better:
    I think (but I'm not too sure) that you can use all icons that ship with eclipse (They should be under the CPL and thus you should be allowed to use them). And I beliebe it might be hard to find somebody who perfers the aforementioned icons ;-)
    Another source is http://www.memoire.com/guillaume-desnoix/icones/. Note that the icons have with different licences.

  • How come setting look and feel not successful

    class gameble{
    public static void main(String argv[])throws Throwable{
    try {
    UIManager.setLookAndFeel(
    UIManager.getCrossPlatformLookAndFeelClassName());
    } catch (Exception e) { }
    console cs = new console();
    cs.addWindowListener(new GenericWindowListener(cs.tv));
    cs.setLocation(320,0);
    cs.show();
    with the above codes, i want java look&feel, but it still shows me window look & feel. need your help!!

    CroosPlatformLookAndFeelClassName looks almost exactly like the java default look and feel.
    You can try other L&F like:
    try{
    UIManager.setLookAndFeel(getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
    //this will take the look and feel of the OS you are working with
    catch(Exception e){
    System.err.println(e.getMessage());
    or
    try{
    UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotiveLookAndFeel");
    //this will take the look and feel of the Unix OS
    catch(Exception e){
    System.err.println(e.getMessage());
