Question to java Swing Team.create Theme for WindowsLookAndFeel

hi
i have a java swing application , and its look and feel is WindowsLookAndFeel(i am currently using xp), i need to set the theme for WindowsLookAndFeel. as i have seen there is no API to set the theme in WindowsLookAndFeel but there is for MetalLookAndFeel,
Is there any way to do it.

Well, the problem is that you can't expect a Java application to reconfigure the operating system (to set its theme), and Java has no easy way of finding out what themes are on a Windows system or retrieving Windows theme information.
Now, you can attempt to mess with the AWT properties controlling the way in which the WindowsLookAndFeel is drawn, and those are set at invocation from the OS (and updated whenever the Windows theme, at least, changes). Try looking at Toolkit.get/setDesktopProperty().

  • Creating themes for idvd 6

    Can some tell me how to create a custom theme for idvd. what I mean is, I want to create my own Menu screen without the use of the themes that are provided, kind of make my own. does anyone know if its possible and how you can do it? I have found themes you can buy on line so I know there has to be away to do it. Thanks in advance.

    so is there any other programs out there that does the same thing as idvd but on a more advance level?
    Yes. It's called Apple's Final Cut Sudio 2 / DVDSP .... might be easier to make your own custom themes within DVDSP, although there is a larger learning curve involved with this particular app (it also helps to have a working knowledge of Motion(included in Final Cut Studio 2) for creating motion graphics menus as well as Adobe PS). Or you can simply select from the many themes templates provided as a starting point w/in DVDSP.
    You can do many of the same things within iDVD (to some extent) however button and text objects (and their associated links) are not as stable nor predictable as they are in apple's pro apps / DVDSP.... which IMO is one of the main reasons for having a DVD entry menu/s in the first place.

  • Creating themes for nokia x6

    i want to create a theme for my nokia x6. can you suggest me some tools?
    Greece Nokia X6 RM-559 v40.0.002
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The official theme creator is available on nokia's developer forum. It takes a lot of time and effort to get to grips with it.
    http://www.forum.nokia.com/Tools_Docs_and_Code/Tools/IDEs/Carbide.ui/
    If you need help with it ask on the developers forum, not here. You may also find tutorials by searching google.
    You may be able to find simplified theme creators at www.zedge.net or www.ownskin.com but they don't give you full control.

  • Java Dictionary Project + create autonumber for KEY field?

    Hi there,
    I would like to create a Java Dictionary project that has a table with an AUTONUMBER as the key field.
    I know exactly how to do this in SQL Server using the IDENTITY field but cannot see an option when using the Java Dictionary project?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for the help
    Lynton

    Has there been an update to this recently?  I am in need of exactly the same information.  The FAQ lists this:
    <i>Can I deploy a Java Dictionary table along with the table content?
    Yes. You can deliver the Java Dictionary table along the table content. There are two possibilities:
    Export from a reference database
    Specification of the table entries in an XML file (since SP5)
    Note that there is no modification support for table entries that are delivered in this way. Therefore, you can deliver table entries with program character or for examples, but not for templates or customizing data.</i>
    Now, I may be reading the note incorrectly, but it makes it sound like if you do populate a table with a XML file, the records cannot be modified thereafter.  Is this true?
    I'd also like to know how to develop the XML and where to put it, etc.  I've had no luck searching for this information.
    Thanks!

  • Question about java swing

    I was playing around with the code given in the swing tutorial by Java. It has this
    frame.getContentPane().add(label);I was looking at it and decided to delete the getContentPane to see what it did. The program still worked fine and I was wondering is the getContentPane necessary?
    Also I wanted the program to print 2 statements instead of one they had
    JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello World");
    frame.getContentPane().add(label);and I changed it too
    JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello World");
    JLabel label1 = new JLabel("Hi World");
    frame.getContentPane().add(label);
    frame.getContentPane().add(label1);And instead of printing 2 statements "Hi world" replaces "Hello World" what am I doing wrong?

    I was looking at it and decided to delete the getContentPane to see what it did. The
    program still worked fine and I was wondering is the getContentPane necessary?No, it's not. Have a look at the section of the Tutorial dealing with "Using Top Level Containers" - http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/toplevel.html Especially the note following "Adding Components to the Content Pane".

  • Google Analytics OPT-OUT Browser Add-on 0.9.6 doesn't retain OPT-OUT settings...never did really. Also JAVA now refuses to create updates for WinXP/FireFox.

    I use PaleMoon now trying to get rid of advertising sharks. I have WINXP still - need assistive-technology computer for pain so taking time on getting new computer.
    I have been severely sabotaged by advertising conglomerates selling my private information. They have no right -yet they do whatever they want. Anyhow...I've tried to OPT-OUT of EVERYTHING POSSIBLE. I've tried 5 places found. Google, NAI, DAA, & FIREFOX HELP said go to about:config was instructed to turn "from false to true" the "privacy.tracking.protection.enabled" .But I couldn't keep this setting because this also has to be set to false to use any saved log-on's to my accounts., and add-on AD BLOCK PLUS 2.6.7 when I was on Firefox & had some ticks and now it is disabled because it won't work with PaleMoon 25.2.1
    This case is about GOOGLE OPT-OUT. Starting here: http://www.google.com/settings/ads?hl=en&sig=ACi0TCgWymel0CNWxdcnEWPzWNs9wDd7cVQHxHsmtz4w30CAyHk7MqyzzZdGh3m6FpDaJsKmunTLEvJZY5LAm3h6gIdzE30L-Q
    There are 2 columns. The left one "ADS ON GOOGLE" NEVER RETAINS AFTER LOG-OFF. The right column "Google ads across the web
    " seems to retain sometimes - if I remember right it falls off after a period of time as opposed to after just LOGGING-OFF. Below the columns there are options, but I don't have a GOOGLE ACCOUNT.
    Also down there is this link: https://support.google.com/adsense/troubleshooter/1631343?hl=en ...you see the box with this: Advertising industry program participation
    Google is a participating member of groups that have developed industry privacy standards like the Ad-Choices icon for online advertising.
    Group Location
    Network Advertising Initiative United States
    Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) United States
    European Digital Advertising Alliance Europe
    Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada Canada
    ....I clicked OPTED OUT FOR NAI on their link http://www.networkadvertising.org/
    ...I clicked OPTED OUT FOR DAA on their link http://www.aboutads.info/
    ...I clicked PROTECT MY CHOICES and downloaded the app.
    These 1st 2 links used to have the same trouble and didn't retain ANYTHING and wouldn't re OPT-OUT ANY UNTIL THEY WERE SATIATED - saying I didn't have 3rd party cookies allowed when I did - this took hours.
    I sent numerous trouble reports to them that they ignored - then I think I sent one to Firefox and it is much better but still not completely right. Today DAA retains 106 out of 122 and if I repeatedly RE-OPT-OUT successively I can get it to 121 out of 122 - never completely. (currently the one not taking is Accuen Inc. but it changes periodically - makes me think they set one up to take my info and then share it with all of them - lol )
    Same for NAI currently I started with 94 out of 96 - next re-OPTED-OUT got it to 95 out of 96 and no further and same co. Accuen Inc (accuenmedia.com ) wouldn't update.
    NOTE: I was copy/pasting the list of NON-OPT-OUT'S to them and my own document file to try and find trends/problems...now NAI programmers protected the list from being able to be COPIED AND PASTED!!! That's the opposite of being open and interested in making this work, right? Why would they want to allow us to OPT-OUT of their criminal espionage behavior...RIGHT? (lol) FYI: I recorded that the big one that was always retained before this one was...MEDIA MATH INC.
    MANY Opt-outs would drop off while on-line and ALL would drop-off once logged-off. Now it's retaining most once logged off - but it hasn't been long enough to tell if they'll fall back into their bad habits as they've done before...
    This has been going on forever for me - I've been reporting this malfunction since 2013.
    Of course I downloaded PROTECT MY CHOICES FOR FIREFOX via NAI AND DAA'S links ...http://www.aboutads.info/PMC#protect-your-choices-for-firefox ............they both go to the same place???.....PROTECT MY CHOICES http://www.aboutads.info/plugin/install/firefox....that seems odd...it's as if they are the same entity then. ABOUTADS is DAA'S WEBSITE. NAI'S IS NETWORKADVERTISING.ORG so why would NAI use DAA'S PROTECT MY CHOICES app?
    Lastely, I also requested that the COOKIES NAMES BE UNIFORMLY IDENTIFIABLE. All the OPT-OUT COOKIES that are to be forevermore retained on my computer and that I am to trust the EVERY FUNCTION OF - well they all have different COOKIE NAMES!! Most of the names you can not tell that they are OPT-OUT COOKIES!! - SO NOWWW They have created another problem.
    We can no longer just "DELETE ALL COOKIES".
    PLUS, we can no longer go through our cookies and delete individual ones that snuck through.
    Every one of the OPT-OUT COOKIES SHOULD SAY "OPT-OUT" IWITHIN THEIR NAME OF THEIR COOKIE - PERIOD. RIGHT? (LOL) For real. Why was this mess was allowed?
    REALLY IN MY OPINION THESE COMPANIES SHOULD BE BLOCKED AT THE LOCAL PHONE COMPANIES LEVEL - IN OUR SERVERS. We should not have to deal with them. Same thing with viruses, malware and such beasts. But I digress.
    In summary:
    1.)Google Analytics OPT-OUT Browser Add-on 0.9.6 doesn't retain OPT-OUT settings
    2.) JAVA refuses to create updates for WinXP/FireFox/PaleMoon.
    3.) DAA & NAI still don't retain ALL OPT-OUT settings and never completely OPT-OUT all companies.
    4.) OPT-OUT cookies should be uniformly names with the words OPT-OUT in their titles.
    5.) Ad Block Plus 25.6.7 doesn't work for Pale Moon and there is no alternative - (didn't work great in FireFox)
    Right now I'm mainly interested in #1)retaining my GOOGLE OPT-OUTS while on line AND while logged off since it is attacking my computer and steeling all the speed until it freezes my keyboard.
    Currently I am trying to remember to run through 3. OPT-OUTS every time I log on.
    Thanks so much!

  • Different Themes for BB Tour

    I have switched from a BB 8330 to a BB Tour.  I used the "Theme" BB Dimension Today on my curve because it showed my calendar appointments on home screen.  As far as I can tell the BB Tour only has two themes, the verizon and precision zen. Can I download the Dimension Today theme or is there any way I can set my tour to show my calendar appointments on home screen?

    The program to create themes, Plazmic CDK (Content Developer's Kit), has not yet been updated to version 4.7. Their latest release was 4.6 for the Bold so until then, theme builders or developers will be unable to create themes for the 8900 or the Storm.
    Hang tight. They'll release an update soon.
    And to answer your question, no you cannot install an 8800 theme on to an 8900 device because the screen resolution is different. A theme is designed based on the blackberry screen, so because the 8900's resolution (480 x 360) is unique to the other 8xxx series, it will not be able to read any themes other than a 480 x 360 theme which like I mentioned above, has not been created or updated in the theme builder program.
    I hope I made that easy to understand.

    I'd really like to be able to customize to the fullest. I like the built in Nokia theme, but it's just TOO default for me,a nd besides, EVERYONE has it! Thanks, in advance!

    You can find 10000's of themes by searching google.
    Or you can use the program in the link below to create themes for it.

    The link says it's for the S60 symbian OS but the program also works with standard series 40 phones like the 5300.

  • How to create transitions for Premiere?

    Hello All,
    I've looked and looked to see how I can create transitions for Premiere, and I keep coming up short.  I'm on a Mac and I can create transitions in Motion 5 for FCPX.  But I always been an Adobe guy... It's just frustrating that I can't seem to find any help creating them for Premiere.  I was hoping After Effect would do the trick?  Maybe a 3rd party app can do it? 
    Let me clear... I know how to apply a transition to my clips.  What I'm looking for is how to create a costume transition.  Example: my have an object / artwork as the transition.
    Please help.

    Not sure if Spice Master is ported for the Mac, but you might want to check out Pixelan. Besides shipping with tons of Transitions, one can do a lot of creation, and their support is excellent.
    Good luck,
