OHJ show blank topic window with Nimbus Look & Feel

Hi,
I am using Oracle Help for Java. When I switch to Nimbus Look & Feel the topic window is blank - it does not display topic information. When I click button <Print> in topic window the topic is printed correctly. The same help work properly in other Look & Feels.

The application that demonstrates this problem is jEdit - an open source text editor. I was told that the development of this editor started before JScrollPane was added to the JRE. Currently there's a lot of code, with high complexity, that replaces the JScrollPane for the text component of the editor, and I wouldn't go change it now. But leave that aside - I am particularly interested to know if this behavior is a bug in Nimbus or maybe my understanding of it is incorrect.
In any case I don't want to hide the casing of the scrollbar, just the scrollbar (thumb) inside the casing. Isn't it strange that without modifying the value or limits, the scrollbar suddenly appears when the view becomes wider? It should be the other way around, the scrollbar should become visible when the view becomes narrower than the contents.

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).

Blank Topic Window is Displayed

Hi,
I am working on Search part of the navigator window. I generated the index file (.idx) by running the following command line:
C:\Program Files\ohelp>java -mx64m oracle.help.tools.index.Indexer -l=en_US -e=8
859_1 C:\TestHelp\topics myIndex.idx
When I typed in word in the search combo box, it provided me the search results. However, when I selected a topic and clicked open, it displayed a blank topic window. I don't know what I've done wrong. Please guideline me.
Thank you so much,
Bee

Hello Christian,
Your suggestion is working. I already fix the problem of displaying an empty topic window. Thanks for your help again.
I would like to ask you question about the search functionality. Can it be invoked externally? Our team is going to create a custom user interface that performs searching. Let's say we build a Java application and have a text field for user to enter words for help. Once he/she enters the keyword and presses Enter on the keyboard. The system retrieves the relevant topics matching with the input words. Then, the system displays those relevant topics on the screen. When the user double click those topics to display, the topic window is shown with assoicated contents. Can we implement this scenario by using the OHJ? If we can, please help us get started.
Regards,
Bee

I just turned on iTunes on my Mac and suddenly instead of the usual song list there's a window with what looks like a screensaver graphic. Anyone know how to get rid of this permanently? Thanks.

Getting incorrect JComboBox color through UIManager in Nimbus Look&Feel

Hello all,
As I implementing a multi columns JComboBox, I need to provide my own custom ListCellRenderer.
* @author yccheok
public class ResultSetCellRenderer extends javax.swing.JPanel implements ListCellRenderer {
    // Do not use static, so that our on-the-fly look n feel change will work.
    private final Color cfc = UIManager.getColor("ComboBox.foreground");
    private final Color cbc = UIManager.getColor("ComboBox.background");
    private final Color csfc = UIManager.getColor("ComboBox.selectionForeground");
    private final Color csbc = UIManager.getColor("ComboBox.selectionBackground");
    private final Color cdfc = UIManager.getColor("ComboBox.disabledForeground");
    @Override
    public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value, int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus) {
        System.out.println("UIManager.getColor(ComboBox.selectionForeground) = " + UIManager.getColor("ComboBox.selectionForeground"));
        System.out.println("UIManager.getColor(ComboBox.selectionBackground) = " + UIManager.getColor("ComboBox.selectionBackground"));
        this.setBackground(isSelected ? csbc : cbc);
     this.setForeground(isSelected ? csfc : cfc);
        jLabel1.setBackground(isSelected ? csbc : cbc);
     jLabel1.setForeground(isSelected ? csfc : cfc);
        jLabel2.setBackground(isSelected ? csbc : cbc);
     jLabel2.setForeground(isSelected ? csfc : cfc);
        jLabel3.setBackground(isSelected ? csbc : cbc);
     jLabel3.setForeground(cdfc);
        final ResultType result = (ResultType)value;
        jLabel1.setText(result.symbol);
        jLabel2.setText(result.name);
        final String type = result.typeDisp != null ? result.typeDisp : result.type;
        final String exch = result.exchDisp != null ? result.exchDisp : result.exch;
        jLabel3.setText(type + " - " + exch);
        return this;
}I try to get the selection colors of JComboBox through UIManager.
    private final Color csfc = UIManager.getColor("ComboBox.selectionForeground");
    private final Color csbc = UIManager.getColor("ComboBox.selectionBackground");However, I realize that while I am in Nimbus Look & Feel, the above 2 return me null.
May I know is there any workaround to overcome this? Or I had missed out something?
Thanks.

Desktop icon for a file on network shows blank in Windows 8.1, if selected the second icon from the library

Hello,
I have a strange issue on my Windows 8.1 machine. The icon for for an executable file on the network shows blank, if I select the second icon from the library. (File->Properties->Change Icon and select the second icon - This file has two icons)
If I re-create the IconCache.db, then it is showing correctly. But I do not want to do this every time.
Regards
Mattehw

It indicates your Icon Cache is corrupted and you need to rebuild it.
Open the command prompt window, type each of the following and after every command, hit the Enter button:
cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
attrib –h IconCache.db
del IconCache.db
start explorer

GUI screwed up sometimes with Custom Look & Feel

Hello,
i've got a few problems with my JApplet. Im using a custom Look and Feel (Kunststoff, http://www.incors.org/index.php3 very nice) - my problem is that sometimes (often) my gui is screwed up - some parts like a JPane are not rendered in the custom look & feel, they are still default, but the buttons are. Or my whole dialog looks like a little puzzle - small pieces are cut out.
I have no idea how to avoid these bugs, im not certain that this is because of the custom look and feel because i seem to have the same problems with the metal look and feel from java.
I tryed to put a repaint() in my initiliaze of my dialog classes at the very end, but no success either...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Adobe Acrobat Professional X - shows blank dialog boxes with vertical bars

The file and print screen and the file and properties screen both show mainly blank screens with vertical bars only on them, no text at all.
Looking around the forum I found it may be a font problem. Is there a way to know which font or if that is actually the problem and how do you resolve that?
This is on a Windows 7 - 64bit system with Adobe Acrobat Professional X (10.1.12) installed.
Thank you.

Hi brian!
Please see Re: Blank dialog boxes in Acrobat X Pro

HOWTO show a popup window with ZOOM OUT effect?

Hi,
I want to implement such an effect in flex:
Popup a modal window, which is showing as zooming out from
the backgroud stage.
I know how to implement in flash, but how in flex?
please help.
thanks.

When you define the pop-up, set its scaleX and scaleY to
zero. Then assign its showEffect to a <mx:Zoom> effect. If
you don't set the initial scale to 0, you may briefly see the
pop-up at full size before the Zoom effect re-scales it to zero.
Note that your text may not scale: it depends on the font and
if the Flash player can scale it; you can always embed the font and
it will work correctly.
You can make the Zoom effect either an MXML tag or create it
with ActionScript when you make the pop-up.

Restoring a session only shows blank tabs, same with opening last closed tab

I opened a link from Trillian in the middle of loading a session with the Session Manager add-on, and now none of my sessions will show anything when I start Firefox or when I reload a session using Session Manager. The number of tabs that the session loads is correct, just none of them have anything except New Tab and nothing in it.
Additionally, the closed tabs list doesn't update, or when I load the session using Session Manager, trying to open a closed tab will open another blank tab and turn that entry in the closed tabs list into a blank tab.
Error console shows this when I open any page:
> Frame Script init
> "Cu" is read-only
And this when I close any page:
> Warning: attempting to write ##### bytes to preference recentlyClosedTabs. This is bad for general performance and memory usage. Such an amount of data should rather be written to an external file.
I've tested this with and without Session Manager enabled, and it's the same behavior for both session restores (correct number of blank tabs). I've tested in safe mode and sessions appear to work normally (I can see closed tabs and restore them).
Also, Session Manager saves the correct titles and URLs of the tabs when it saves to its external storage, even though they're "blank", so I suspect the issue is something preventing the writing of an important file in my Firefox profile, but I'm not sure what or how to fix it.
Lastly, Session Manager's add-on page says it might help to record the error console while disabling/enabling the add-on, so here is that log:

OK I managed to fix this myself so I'll post what I did here:
The problem was caused by TabMixPlus which also has its own session manager, so I had to reinstall that addon.
I also had to disable/re-enable every addon and delete all my cookies/cache because of some other strange issues that were happening, but whoever is reading this might not need to do that if they don't have other problems.

Xcode-Show and Hide windows with checkbox?

I am making an applescript/cocoa application in Xcode 4.6. I in my Main Window, I have two windows that are hidden at launch ("Preferances", and "Advanced") and one window ("Simple") that is visible at launch. In the preferances window, I have a checkbox. I would like that box, when checked to display the "Simple" window, and Hide the "Advanced" window, and even when closed and relaunched, will remain how the preferances are, and not have to check the box everytime on startup of the app. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks!

Ok something isn't quit right
I in my Main Window, I have two windows that are hidden at launch ("Preferances", and "Advanced") and one window ("Simple") that is visible at launch. In the preferances window, I have a checkbox. I would like that box, when checked to display the "Simple" window, and Hide the "Advanced" window,
What do you mean by in the main window are two windows? Also if the checkbox is in the preferences window and that is hidden at launch how do you get to it to check/uncheck it?
This checkbox basically toggles between the two windows? selected it displays the 'simple' window, when unchecked it displays the "Advanced" window?
This script
script AppDelegate
property parent : class "NSObject"
    property ppw : missing value
    property isShowing : 0

Desktop Wallpaper shows blank in windows 7 and works in win xp & win 8.

Dear MS Support,
We have applied one newly designed Desktop Wallpaper for all our computers in GAVS. It is not working in win 7 and it works in Win XP and in Win 8.
I have searched in Microsoft forums and they mentioned to install one hotfix. I tried to install and it is not working..
Our Group Policy and working and I can able to see the wallpaper path in my registry settings..
Kindly help me to fix this issue..
Given below the hotfix url…

Hi,
After you applied the policy, what wallpaper will the Desktop of Windows 7 change to? Is it a solid colour desktop? If not, The Hotfix should not work in this case.
Here is a very good troubleshooting guide for Wallpaper Group Policy.
