Setting Themes for Java Look & Feel

Hi All,
I am tring to set my customized theme to Java Look & Feel. I am able to set the theme using the following code:
ASC_WhiteSatin theme = new ASC_WhiteSatin();
MetalLookAndFeel.setCurrentTheme(theme);
The above code works fine and changes the color schemes correctly.
If I set another theme after setting the previous one i.e.let say abc Theme, dialogs and frames are updated properly where as JFileChooser start showing combination of both. Why?
I am also updating the Look & Feel and calling
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this);
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this.getParent());
((JFrame)this.getParent()).pack();
to refresh the themes for my frame. I am using JDK 1.4.1.
Thanks in advance
Wahaj

try the beta-version of 1.4.2

Java Look & Feel in Windows

I would like to implement the Java L&F on windows plattforms with those nice notched, blue title bars. I'm using the crossplattform look and feel from the UIManager (jsdk 1.4.1_01). Everything looks smashing (my scrollbars gets notched...mmm...nice) xept for the titlebars. They are as ugly as everything else in Windows. I'm using JFrames.
Note: When I run javaws apps, some of them get the Java L&F but when I run them as pure Java I'm stuck with Windows-titlebars. Grrr...

Sorry Stevo,
That is not necessarily true.
As of Java 1.4:
JFrame has a method called setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated.
So, before you create any frames if you call:
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);then all of your frames should have what you want, if the l&f supports it.
The Java Look & Feel does support, so that should give you what you need.

Starting tomcat server after setting classpath for java

Sorry if this is nothing to do with java, it is more to do with starting tomcat server.
Tomcat server has been working totally fine, but when I wanted to compile a java servlet I wrote for it, I needed to run a BAT file called gojava in MS-DOS that had the classpath for java to work properly. I then attempted to run Tomcat, but just got 'bad command'. As long as I don't start up java by setting the classpath, tomcat will work, but as I need java to write servlets and then to test them without restarting my PC each time, how do I get tomcat to work?
Thanks
Hannah

Sounds like your batch file is changing your path, not your classpath. If you're getting "Bad command or filename" when attempting to run Tomcat, it can't find the executable. Check out the .bat file and see what it's doing (maybe even post it here for further clarity). If it's changing your path at all, make sure it includes a %path% to indicate that it simply wants to append items to the path, not overwrite it completely. Sorry if i'm way off base with my suggestions, but it sounds like that's where the problem's going to be, especially if rebooting resolves the problem.

GTK wiki - A way to set themes for GTK2 and GTK3 in XFCE

Hi,
I think I have something to add to the GTK page of the Arch wiki but I wanted to confirm if this works for others or if I just found an exception to the rule. Anways, I was trying to figure out why some of my apps on XFCE were looking different than others and I came too the GTK page to find the section explaining that XFCE tries to use the same theme for both GTK 2 & 3 which causes errors if the theme you use isn't for both.
Since I could not find a theme that I liked a lot that worked for both, I tried to manually fix the issue. The way I did so was by simply making a new directory in the themes folder and copying all the files from the GTK 3 theme I liked and then replacing the gtk-2.0 folder with the folder of the theme for GTK2 that I liked. This seems to be working flawlessly so I was wondering if I should add it to the wiki in the section that mentions the few themes that work for both GTK 2 & 3.
I wasn't sure if the GTK wiki should have more XFCE specific information added or if this would be more appropriate in the XFCE wiki but I was thinking that since there is already mention of the problem and a potential solution on the GTK page, it might make sense to add it there.
Can anyone confirm that this works for them as well or does anyone have objections to the addition to the GTK wiki?
Last edited by boswbr25 (2012-05-28 21:47:14)

I am not that familiar with this bug because I do not use xfce. But I would say adding it as a tip or similar on the xfce page would be the better place to put it as opposed to the gtk wiki.

Set classpath for java in fedora core 1?

i am new to programming java on linux and im having trouble finding out how to set classpath in the shell, permenently. i have the sdk installed and tried the usual "hello world" test and failed. the response i would get a message telling me javac is not a bash command. i have no clue how to set classpaths in linux so i would much appreciate it if someone would show me thanks

Ok, there is two ways to achieve this. Either by setting it globally for all the user, or only for your self. If you are working on your own station and have super user access, you can set it up for all th eusers, if not, just set it for your self. How ??
for all the users, modify the file /etc/profile and include this:
PATH=$PATH:/path/to/jdk/bin:.
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/to/jdk/lib/tools.jar:/path/to/jdk/lib/rt.jar
export PATH CLASSPATH
If you want to add it only for ur self then, modify the lsame line in ~/.bash_profile
hope this helps

SAP Portal Custom Theme change UI Look & Feel of ESS screens - Possible ?

Hi,
I have a requirement where the look and feel of the UI controls of the ESS/MSS applications have to be different - Jazzy
I know XSS homepage framework is for the customisation of Areas, Sub Areas. What I am more interested is only the look and feel UI of ESS/MSS applications.
If I change the standard theme of portal using Theme Editor and create a new custom theme with different back ground colors, fonts, sizes for all the UI controls,.Will the customised Theme apply on the standard ESS / MSS screens ? Also my doubt is we are using EHP3 and I am not sure how many are Webdynpro java based or webdynpro Abap based.
Will the theme apply to both WDA and WDJ application UI controls of ESS/MSS?
Any inputs in this regard will be of great help. thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sreeram

Hi Sreeram,
Yes, you should be able to apply the portal theme to both WDA and WDJ applications. This [posting|Re: webdynpro for abap using portal theme nw2004s, sp12; might help you.

How to determine the system color and set them for my app?

Hi,
I'd like to set the colors of my application to the system's colors. Especially the backgrounds of my JPanels, JButtons and so on should look like in the operating system. If you change the systems color scheme, my application looks really wierd with it's grey canvas an components and the border and menu of the window is displayed in the system's colors.
any idea??
koem

The UIManager only seems to have control over
awt-controls. All swing controls are not listed, when
you try this:
UIDefaults defaults =
UIManager.getLookAndFeelDefaults();
for(Iterator i = defaults.keySet().iterator();
ator(); i.hasNext();)
String name = (String)i.next();
System.out.println(name);
}It would be nice to have it set globally somewhere in
the program.
koemActually, the truth is quite the opposite, the UIManager only has control over swing components.
There are many ways you can set these globally. You can sublcass your own look and feel, use the system look and feel, call UIDefaults.put() etc.

Setting Classpath for java in UNIX machine

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.

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().

How to set Portal Theme for WDA iView different from user's Theme

Hi Experts!
I have dual-stack system: ABAP server + Java. I have WDA application in ABAP server and I deployed it to NW Portal via iView (using template).
There are two themes customized:
1: Standard - to be used for all iviews except WDA iviews. This theme is set as default for user.
2.: WDA theme - to be used for some WDA iviews IRRESPECTIVELY what them is set in personalization settings of the user.
So my question is:
Can I somehow set the Portal Theme to be used for specific iView no matter what Theme user has selected in his personalization?
Or if its not possible, can I set some specific Theme for WDA application?
So taks is to overcome settings for default portal theme for user and replace it with different theme. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

Are you using an LDAP as your UME, or are the user records from from R/3 ?
Apparently (Ive never done it) you used to be able to force a default language by editing this file (back in the EP5 days):
<J2EE root>\WEB-INF\portal\system\properties\prtDefault.properties
Look at the following lines :
This is the default language to be used when none is specified
request.defaultlanguage=en
request.defaultcountry=us
If you prefer to have the same language for all users no matter their user locale, change the lines to this :
This is the default language to be used when none is specified
request.mandatorylanguage=en
request.mandatorycountry=us
I hope this works out for you

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 ..
