Java is designed to have a look and feel equivalent to????

Java is a programming language designed to have a look and feel equivalent to:
a. VB
b. C++
c. Cobol
d. NotesScript
Cheers!

If you mean look and feel from a language perspective, Java was heavily influenced by C++.
Since this is a multiple choice question quoted verbatim from either a textbook or your homework, I assume that you aren't really interested in any more information than that.

Make one bitmap have same "look and feel" as another

Hello community.
First time I am coming across this problem for a client.
He wants an old photograph (b/w, scanned) to be the "blueprint" for another one, which he just made with his digicam. The latter is of course quite different in lighting etc., but that's not what I am really worried about as I have the raw file so I can play around.
But is there a reasonably quick way to have that new digicam image have the same "look and feel" of that old, scanned image? I cannot post the image I am talking about (copyright issue), but if I had to make a new digicam image have the same "look and feel" of, say, such a picutre - what would I have to do?
Hints to simple techniques will do, because the pay for this job is close to lousy... :-(
Thanks all.

Download a "grunge" or "old photo" pic from stock xchange and put it on top of the photo in overlay or soft light mode. You can adjust the grunge layer with levels to make it a more neutral layer for blending. Use the dodge and burn tools to draw smudges on the photo, particularly lightening or darkening the edges of the photo. You can also use the blur brush to soften the image, except for around the face.

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?

Improving the look and feel of your application

Deal all java programmers
I have Frame at the moment that has a menu and displaying 2 images. The application looks very boring and dull at the moment. I am just wondering if there is a class,tool or function in java that can help improve the look and feel of your application and make it looks better and stand out.

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!)

How to include look and feel features in the Hyperion Financial Reports

2) Will traffic lighting functionality is present in Hyperion Reports (FR), if not present how can achieve this functionality
in FR ?
3) We have user look and feel features like pinboard in the web analyis reports, but are there any certailn features
in Hyperion Reports ??

You can use Conditional Formatting to produce stoplights in Report Studio.
If you know of specific things that you want to see, try reading the manual. I cannot give you details of every type of formatting you may want to see from such a vague post.

Setting the Brushed Metal look and feel for macs using Java.

Hello,
I am relatively new to Java and I am new to Mac-specific java stuff. Anyways, when I try to set the look and feel of my classes to the "apple.awt.brushMetalLook" look and feel, I am unable to. It works if I have System.setProperty("apple.awt.brushMetalLook", "true"); written before I create any swing component. This would be fine, except that means that it is impossible to extend any swing component, such as JFrame or JApplet. Is there a way around this?
Thanks!

[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).

JTree Button, Line and Java look and feel ?

Hi all,
I have 3 small problem with my JTree ..
1) The 'expand' button size ...
I set a different Icon for each node in a getTreeCellRendererComponent method (from a class that extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer )...
The icon are 32x32 pixels.. .and the RowHeight and the Font have been changed too. .
How to change the size of the expand button (+/-) near the text node ? Because on my JTree, the expand/collapse buttons are really small compare to the icon & row height.
2) No line appear between the node ...
I try to set the line style property with -> putClientProperty("JTree.lineStyle", "Angled"); in the JTree constructor OR in the DefaultTreeCellRenderer constructor .. but it doesn't work :/
3) How to set a Java look and feel for my JTree (actually, I have a Windows look and feel ..)
I know .. I have grouped 3 question in the same topic ...
If anyone can help me on one of these subjects. .. Thanks !
Regards,
Didier

So, the Problem 1) is solved ..
About the Problem 2)
I put the code UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel()) in the main method, like
//Main method
public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel());
    catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    new MainApplication();
}But it only set a Java L&F on the spliter, and on the toolbar contained in my application... Any idea why the title bar is not changed too ?
(The title bar stay with a Window$ XP L&F ...)
About the problem 3)
When I set the L&F->UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()); then the lines appear .. ??!! .. if I set again the previous value UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()); .. then the lines desappear ..

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.

What a shock!! Where is the premium look and feel I bought my iPhone for?
If I wanted the lokale feel of iOS 7.0 I would have bought a much cheeper taiwanese smartphone.
Please let me know how I can return to the original look and feel of the iPhone surface I bought my phone for.

You had plenty of time to look at screenshots on the internet and read various blog posts about iOS 7.

How can I include a portal component look and feel in a java servlet

Does any body know how can i include a portal component look and feel (tables, buttons, etc) in a java servlet?

Hi José,
I don't think that is possible. But you can import the css files that ep uses for its look and feel and try to give your web pages similar look and feel. The tables and other controls used in EP are totally different and are done through complex JavaScript coding instead of simple HTML tags. If you want exact lok and feel then i thin you must go for a Webdynpro based application rather then a J2EE application with JSPs.
Regards,
Guru.
PS: Give points for helpful replies.

Java is designed to have a look and feel equivalent to????
