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!

Is it possible to set more than one look and feel (laf) to a java program?

Hi
For example,
I really like the windows system look/feel for the menubar + JTabbedPane etc...
But i also like the standard Java'a look/feel for some other components like JButton, JSliders etc..
if so how?
Cause at the moment i only set laf right at the start of the program (main bit) before i actually initialise the swing ui components, so that they all have my defined laf set
thanks

You can add up to three 'aliases' to your account - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main address.
You set them up at http://icloud.com - go to the Mail page, click the cogwheel icon at top right, choose 'Preferences', then in the pane which opens go to 'Accounts' and click the '+' button below the list area.
Note that aliases stick permanently with the account which created them. You cannot move them to another account nor turn them into a full account, and if you delete one you cannot reinstate it.

Metal Look and Feel

I am trying to get the metal look and feel which was the default look and feel from 1.4. I used the following code.
try
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new MetalLookAndFeel());
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this);
catch (Exception e) {System.out.println("Exception");}
but I am still getting the ocean look and feel.

Ocean is the new default theme for Metal. Use
MetalLookAndFeel.setCurrentTheme(new DefaultMetalTheme())

Customised look and feel for B2B/B2C web shop.

Dear experts,
I would like to find out if there is an admin page for SAP E-commerce to customise the look and feel of the webshop?
Thanks.
Wein

Hi Wein,
To change Look and Feel for Web shop is depends on scenario of eCommerce application i.e. B2B or B2C. B2B has different structure than B2C.
Web Channel application comes in SAP standard with SAP look and Feel. You have to change look and feel as per client requirement.
To change look and feel of Both B2B/B2C scenario you have to deal with files like CSS, JSP, Properties, XLF and some time you have to add your custom JAVA, JSP, CSS, Properties files etc...
To change standard SAP logo youhave to make change in CSS files. Also you have to consider Browser type while changing look and feel because to display your B2B/B2C application correctly in different browser you have to make changes in different CSS.
You will get better idea with example how to change look and feel in "Dev & Ext. Guide" for Web Shop. You will get this from Service Market place.

How to change the look and feel for Heading of quick launch menu in project server 2010

Hi
can someone tell me how to change the look and feel of Header names in quick launch.
I want the header to be displayed in Bold with Underline to it.
could this be possible for just header in quick launch in project server 2010.

Hi Rohan
It does not work this way. You have to use a content editor webpart.
See references below that might help you starting with this customisation:

Can i perform SDK 7 Compilation while maintaining SDK6 look and feel for my App

In our organization we test the App using visual specs and our existing visual specs are aligned with SDK 6 look and feel. When i compile my app with SDK 7 the visual display of the App changes completely and is no longer in sync with the visual specs used for testing. As SDK 7 compilation is a mandate for post Feb 1 submission, is it possible to compile the code with SDK 7 while maintaining SDK 6 visual look and feel?

What i am actually trying to do is to maintain the existing SDK6 UI Look and Feel on iOS7. Apple has issued a mandate to have all Apps compiled with SDK7 for App Store submission post Feb1, 2014. If i compile with SDK7, even if i set the deployment target as iOS6, when my app runs on iOS7 it will have the new Apple's iOS7 look and feel. How can i accomplish this?

Changing look and feel for one INSTANCE of a component

I am trying to change the look and feel of just ONE instance of a component. In particular, I want to change the color of the JScrollBar thumb on a certain JScrollPane. I want this change to not affect any other component, either before or after. How can I do this?? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi acalvin3!
I have a solution. Use the UIManagers database. You should overwrite the default settings for the resource you want to change, the code is self explaining:
      UIManager.put( "Button.margin", commonMargin );
      UIManager.put( "Button.focusInputMap", commonInputMap );
      UIManager.put( "Button.font", buttonFont );To reset values you only have to use
      UIManager.put( "Button.margin", null );
      UIManager.put( "Button.focusInputMap", null );
      UIManager.put( "Button.font", null );Set values before you create your component and reset values immedeately after you created your component, otherwise you may affect other components too.
With following code you can find out default values for the whole UIManagers database:
      Hashtable defaultProps = UIManager.getDefaults();
      Enumeration enum = defaultProps.keys();
      while (enum.hasMoreElements()) {
         Object key = enum.nextElement();
         System.out.println( "key: '" + key + "'\t value: '" + defaultProps.get(key) + "'" );
      }You just have to look for the output for the component you want to change the look and feel.
Have fun...

How do I get a more modern look and feel for a compiled help file

I gather from reading various posts that there is no easy way
to generate a .chm file with a more modern look and feel (am I
right about this?). Are there no plug-ins available from Adobe that
will enable us to generate a help file that looks more modern?
I hesitate to move to flash help or something like that
because, of course, then the developers would have to hookup the
hundreds of dialog boxes we have in our product to the new files. I
also think that having one file is way easier to manage in terms of
getting updated help to the customers. What are online Help
developers generally delivering for apps where users are not
connected to the Internet except perhaps periodically while using
the software? I'm a writer (not a developer) so need soemthing that
is easy to implement :-)
Thanks for your help. It is much appreciated.

To add to the advice already offered, you can apply a skin to
a CHM file which allows you to customise it. However as with most
things there are issues with this approach. You can read about this
by downloading Rick Stone's excellent
tips
'n tricks file. Just look in the index under "skins". Something
else you may want to look at is the beta of Adobe's
AIR.

Have you tried walking it into the nearest Apple Store and asking for assistance there...?
I'm guessing you don't have Apple Care on it.

What are the functions of look and feel files?

Hi,
If some one can explain me what are individual role in look and feel of the ISA B2C application.
mainFS.jsp
main_inner.jsp
catalogFS.jsp
accountFS.jsp
refresherB2C.jsp
I want to know function of each files. If I change any file then where exactly I can see changes which I made.
Any help from any one highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Ashish

Hi,
If you get hold of the ISA Development and Extension guide there is a section highlighting which frames go where in the main application.
You can also see which .jsp pages are displayed where by adding the following parameter to the root URL of the application when you logon.
http://<host>:<port>/b2c/b2c/init.do?showmodulename=true
This will display the name of each jsp page in the frames on screen.
Also, surely you must have been asked to change certain aspects of the application - not specific files? You shouldn't just change the files and then "see what happens"...
Hope this helps,
Gareth.

How to get the weblogic's look and feel?

Have you seen the look and feel of weblogic's 7.0 (or 8.0) workshop.
It's very beautiful!
I want to make a skin like that, then I can skin my application use the
pretty skin, but i can not get the theme of workshop, how can i make it?

I beleive 1.4.2 has an automatic upgrade feature that will upgrade people to 1.5 once it is released. The problem is that even though java.sun.com has released 1.5, www.java.com has not, which is where the average person will get Java from.
Another option is to make a custom ButtonUI (other componenets too if u wish) that will use a Gradient to make those 3D looking buttons. If you dig through the Java source, you will see it.
As far as old projects having this look, as soon as 1.5 is on www.java.com, most people will automatically upgrade to it assuming they are running XP.

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.

Thin JFrame Border, Metal look and feel

Hello,
For an assignment of mine I am required to write a GUI that has thinner Window border then usual. The Frame of the window needs to be about half the size that it currently is. I'm looking to find the best way to do this. Is there a way to use the UI manager, or do I need a complete overhaul of the top-level container? Boy, I hope not!
Thanks in advance!

How to generate a html file from a xml file with the default Firefox look and feel

Hello
Any xml or xsd file are pretty printed with Mozilla firefox. I would like to generate the equivalent html file, in order to introduce it later in a Word document. Do you use a xslt file ? How can I do this ?
Best regards

I would be remiss if I did not point out that the forum software detected your Firefox as version 17. Is that correct?
Version 17 is not secure; Mozilla discloses [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html security flaws] after each new release. Is something holding you back from upgrading to Firefox 31? Please let us know so we can suggest solutions or workarounds.
If Help > About Firefox shows Firefox 31, you may need to clear the preference that is misreporting your version number. See: [[Websites say that Firefox is outdated or incompatible even though it's the latest version]].

Problem setting look and feel

It seems like I'm not able to change the windows xp look and feel, I'm using this code to change it but nothing happens, the window comes out with windows LAF:
" public static void main(String[] args)
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel("javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel");
} catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e.getMessage()); }
new Ventana();
Maybe... Am I missing some code? or a specific class needs to be downloaded?
I'd apreciate any help

That was not the problem, but thank you...
I finally noticed the problem, what I was trying to do was actually done by writting this:
JComponent.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
Sets the OceanTheme feel on, but I noticed that when you try to use it with a Jdialog and a JFileChooser you get some ugly colors. Orange/Brown with JDialogs and Green with JFileChoosers. Is this a bug or it's ment to do that?
Does somebody know how to fix it?
Thanks for your support
