Weblogic Workshop GUI look and feel

Hi all,
Does anyone know where I can find a library to import a similar look and feel that this application has? It's quite impressive for a java gui!
Thanks for your help.//

After a bit of peliminary swing hacking...
overide javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalTitlePane.SystemMenuBar.createActions() to return a subclass of the exisiting Maximise action that sets to corrected dimensions.
subclass createTitlePane in MetalRootPaneUI to return your new class
then set the metal UI to use your new new RootPaneUI and stand back and feel smug!
I don't need to do this, but this should work!
HOWEVER... exactly how you decode where on teh screen the taskbar starts/ends is anybody's guess.

GUI Look and Feel

Hi,
I am developing GUI's with SWING and I am developing on a Windows XP machine and all my code no matter what I do looks like Windows frames. Is there a trick to get everything to look like "metal" look and feel? I tried numerous techniques that the java tutorials say will alter it but it never does... Is it somthing with XP?
Thanks,
Ben

Yosemite GUI look and feel

Does any one like it ? I prefer the older GUI. How can I reinstall Maverick ?

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?
reference: www.javootoo.com www.l2fprod.com

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.

Hiya,
I saw this blog posted a while back and have only now had a chance to use it - very cool work there Brian and Steffan!
The only thing is I'm having what looks like the same problem as Maximilian!
We're on 620 sp45.
Everything installed fine, I tweaked the mime version code for 620 (me->ifur_d2_system~css_version) and the left hand side of the screen, the editor itself, looks and works fine - but the preview screen doesn't work, the BSP is displayed with no theme at all.
I opened the BSP in a new page with default theme and set the theme manually with paramters and this doesn't work either.
i.e.
http://<host>:<port>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/it05/entrypoint.htm?sap-themeRoot=%2fsap%2fpublic%2fbc%2fur%2fdesign2002%2fthemes%2falfs1000202FFE4C43B2D1B7D674EDAA520565656
But if I try with an SAP standard theme everything works fine and the new theme is picked up correctly
i.e.
http://<host>:<port>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/it05/entrypoint.htm?sap-themeRoot=%2fsap%2fpublic%2fbc%2fur%2fdesign2002%2fthemes%2f~sap_standard
I've checked the URL encoding (using program BSP_DECODE_URL) and with the alfs theme this looks fine.
In the source code the stylesheets are referenced using the correct themeRoot i.e.
<link id="urstyle" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/sap/public/bc/ur/design2002/themes/alfs1000202FFE4C43B2D1B7D674EDAA520565656/ur/ur_ie6.css">
When I set a break point in the ALFS HTTP handler this is not picked up.
BUT the one really puzzling thing about all this is that whilst I've been trying to fix this and work out what is going wrong I've made small changes to the ALFS class, i.e. to change the default BSP application used in the editor, and sometimes after generating the class code, refereshing both browser and system caches, everything worked fine - even the debugging of the HTTP handler - for some generated themes - and then stopped working again!
Now I know how this reads - and I've worked with enough users in my time to know you must be thinking - well she must have changed something! But I really can't work out what it could have been.
I've been round and round trying to reproduce what ever it was to get this working.
I've tried all the following in various combinations:
- restarting ICM
- removing ALFS HTTP handler from ICF service
- starting with a completely new copy of the class
- adding alert statements to the ALFS editor page to track themeRoot values
- changing the code relating to me->ifur_d2_systemcss_version and me->ifur_d2_systemur_version so that there is a version number (tried 'urversion=DAT<date>' and plain 'DAT<date>'), changed the code so there is no version number used at all.
- even (don't laugh!) put the ALFS HTTP handler on node SAP/BS/BSP just to make sure the external debugger was still working (it was). At this point I could see each time it was called, and since each call did not have the alfs string in it, all the internal class processing was correctly skipped.
All of the above in combination with cache refreshing on both server and brower side and logging on/off.... and still feel no closer to resolving this.
From what I understand, the ALFS HTTP handler is called everytime a MIME or theme object is requested from the theme root - as this is the only time that a request would pass via SAP/PUBLIC/BC/UR. And I understand that if the requested object is already cached, there will be no request passing via this node, so the ALFS HTTP handler won't be called - but think that there must be some important point relating to caching that I must have missed ...
So that's my first question... help!
Also, Brian, what you have mentioned before, this patch you have to take a theme, patch it with ALFS then import it into the theme editor - this sounds like exactly what we need to do ... I couldn't see any weblogs relating to this - so could you point me in the right direction??
We have no portal so I'll be trying the standalong theme editor plug in for Eclipse.
Thanks in advance,
Cathy

Nick -- Thanks for the kind words.
While we don't have plans to make the look and feel available outside of the IDE,
you may want to check out some of the other look and feel resources within the

There is a distinct interest in developing C# clients purely due to the
fact
that Swing doesnt perform and doesnt look good. JDK1.4 reportedly has
numerous performance improvents. What is missing is a good look and feel.
The Jelly Beans look and feel is quite good (I suspect that it is no
accident that its flat look is similar to Visual Studion .NET.).
I think that encouraging developers to remain with Java for GUI clients
can
only be good for Java and in turn J2EE as a whole. A pure java environment
would be much better than a deliberatly mixed environment. Java RMI is
much
simpler than SOAP, etc.
Aside from the ultruistic viewpoint, we would dearly like to use it in
our
Swing applications - perhaps we can stave off a turn to C# / .net clients.

Portlet look and feel

Is it possible to modify the portleet look and feel with JSR-168 the same as we
can do with page flow portlet. I don't want to display the Maximize/Minimize as
well as the portlet title.
Is it something that can be configured in the portlet.xml file ? otherwise can
i modify the portal framework files ?
Thanks

I have a portlet developed using JSF in sun creator studio and imported to the Weblogic workshop after running the portlet preparer tool. However the Maximize/Minimize button shows up but does not work on this portal.

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.

BSP - Look and Feel / Theme

Good Morning All,
disclaimer: I checked the blogs, I checked the discussions, I checked the examples, I checked the doco - and couldn't find the answer to my question.
Question:
I've already seen it, but can't remember where it is, does anyone know the name of the BSP Sample/Example which comes with the WAS which has the EP6 look and feel ?
I saw it a few weeks ago and I can't find it now and I want to study the code from it to make my app have a nicer look and feel.
Note: I read Thomas's blog on - 'A developer's Journal Part VI
and although that example discussed what I am interested in I couldn't see examples in the code of creating the header bar etc, maybe it's just me, but at the moment that's what I would like to achieve and to do it by example.
So to conclude if anyone knows / can remember the name of the BSP example which has an EP6 look and feel please let me know so that I can study it for inspiration.
Thanks very much,
Milan.

Hallo Milan,
I think that you are doing good. It is always the best to follow a small mix of documentation reading and practical work. So let me tell you the minimum to get a first version working. Thereafter to can continue reading!
Problem: we want to implement a simple link tag (in 15 minutes!) that works like this:
<%@page language="abap"%>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb"%>
<%@extension name="bcm06" prefix="bcm06"%>
<htmlb:content design="design2003">
<htmlb:page>
 <bcm06:simpleLink href="http://www.sap.com">
 SAP Home Page!
 </bcm06:simpleLink>
</htmlb:page>
</htmlb:content>
In SE80 we defined a new BSP library bcm06. We define a new element simpleLink. Typical handler class name will be CL_BCM06_SIMPLELINK (just the convention we use). As body this tag can contain other HTML and also over BSP elements (we want to just render a link around all of body). We don't worry about the rest of the checkboxes. They will become interesting later on.
We activate the library. The workbench will detect that no handler class exists, and will generate all of the stuff we need. Now already the tag is full functional, and can be used on any BSP page. It just will not do anything.
What was generated? The class inheritance diagram is as follow: CL_BCM06_SIMPLELINK --> CLG_BCM06_SIMPLELINK --> CL_BSP_ELEMENT.
The class CL_BSP_ELEMENT is the base class, and it contains a lot of interesting functionality. None of which we worry about now. Never try to change it!
The class CLG_BCM06_SIMPLELINK (note that CLG_!) is generated new each and everytime that you touch the definition of the tag. Effectively all the defined attributes are generated onto this class, so that they are already of the correct type, and that this information is always in sync. This means that all your tag defined attributes are directly attributes on your class. In our case, the defined "href" attribute (type string) is now an attribute on the CLG class.
The last class CL_BCM06_SIMPLELINK will only be generated once if it does not exist. This is the class where you work. In this class there are two methods that are interesting to you at this moment. Later you will learn about the rest.
DO_AT_BEGINNING: This method is called effectively in response to the <lib:tag> sequence. This is the code that executes before the body. This is the place where we would like to render out "<a href=...>" sequence.
DO_AT_END: This method is called effectively at the end of the tag, when the </lib:tag> is seen. The body has now already been processed and sent onto the output stream. So we only need to render "</a>".
Note that these methods are implemented empty. You *MUST* overwrite them, and implement them in your class. See instructions from Thomas. Source code:
METHOD if_bsp_element~do_at_beginning.
DATA: html TYPE string.
CONCATENATE `<a href="` me->href `">` INTO html.
me->print_string( html ).
rc = co_element_continue.
ENDMETHOD.
METHOD if_bsp_element~do_at_end.
me->print_string( `</a>` ).
rc = co_page_continue.
ENDMETHOD.
Notice that you DO NOT need that super call. The base method will always be empty (from definition, will never change). You also have a direct PRINT_STRING method in newer SPs. The return code you must set. (To tell the truth, the constants for RC have been picked so perfectly that if you forget them, it should not hurt in 85% of the cases.)
That is it. Test page. Mine worked!
Of course, we can start looking at more exotic things, like empty tags, at tags that skip their bodies if not required, processing the body, validation, etc.
But this overview was just to give you that first success feeling, and also to give you a better framework for understanding more of the documentation as you continue to read.
Recommended: read <a href="/people/brian.mckellar/blog/2004/06/11/bsp-trouble-shooting-getting-help">Getting Help</a> to see how you can quickly navigate between BSP page and a tag's definition, from where you also quickly get to the implementation class of the tag.
bye, brian

Configurable look and feel

Hello Java masters,
This is not question, but I just like to tell you about something I find today while answering other forum writers question...
http://www.javadesktop.org/articles/synth/index.htmlHe lets you configure look and feels using configuration file, and "plug in" custom renderers (like gradient paint filling etc).
He looks very powerful but I haven't read about him in the press - so thought I would (how do you say...) "give him a shout out".
Yardedoo!

Azureus uses a different graphical toolkit for Java (SWT I think its called) which can more easily take on the native look and feel of either GTK (Gnome's primary toolkit) or QT (KDE's toolkit) depending on whats running.
Most Java apps just use the Swing GUI toolkit (Java's own), which only takes on the look and feel of GTK stuff... totally ignoring QT to fend for itself =\. I use gtk-qt-engine to get GTK apps to imitate KDE's appearance, not sure if Java's Swing is affected by that though.

Look And Feel: Metal Themes

Hello,
I have two basic questions I can't find the answer to. I hope someone can help.
From my understanding of Java 1.5 you now have 2 basic themes to them metal look and feel, they are "Ocean" (the default) and "Steel". Is this understanding correct?
My second question is, I can switch between Look & Feels, ie. default to system, how do you switch between themes though? I want to use "Steel" but can't !
Thanks,
Alan

How to Set the Lood and Feel:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/p
laf.htmlThat actually doesn't tell you how to do what he's asking.. at least not from what I saw.
Here's how to set the metal theme in 1.5:
import javax.swing.plaf.metal.*;
public static final String STEEL_THEME_CLASS = "javax.swing.plaf.metal.DefaultMetalTheme";
public static final String OCEAN_THEME_CLASS = "javax.swing.plaf.metal.OceanTheme";
public void changeMetalTheme(String themeName) {
   try {
      MetalTheme theme = (MetalTheme)Class.forName(themeName).newInstance();
      MetalLookAndFeel.setCurrentTheme(theme);
   catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
}Note that if you do this after you've created your GUI, you'll have to call SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI() on all top-level windows.

Migrating sapgui look and feel settings of sapgui to new notebook.

Hi,
We are migrating from XP to Vista and SAPGui 640 to 710. (new notebooks are assigned to the users)
I copied saplogon.ini to the new notebook to preserve the links to the servers.
Some users have customized the look and feel of their SAPGui. How can I copy the settings of their SAPGui to the new notebook (like the visual design, color settings and font size that the user have set in their sapgui.)
thanks,
Roel

Hello Roel,
The windows vista version itself gives a new dimension to the look and feel. So I guess nothing must have been editted on SAPGUI screen.
And more of SAP GUI 640 to 700 look and features are also different.
Kindly request you to check with the user who has changed and got the looks as you found on his screen.
If you are looking for the changed screen after SAP gui login, where the main screen appears.
Then I would suggest, you go through thsi link below -
Change SAPGUI initial login screen
http://www.sap-img.com/basis/changing-the-sapgui-logo-on-the-right-hand-side.htm
Do let me know if this resolved your issue.
Thank you.

[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).
Last edited by 2mac (2014-01-02 20:51:35)

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).

Chromosomes and genes in portal look and feel

Hi everybody.
Has anyone experimented succesfully the use of genes and chromosomes in bea portal 9.2?
I have troubles with look and feel editor, that doesn't show inlined css, and runtime also, that seems to always
get the default.chromosome file instead of the one i configured in the .laf file.
Any point? Thank you.

In regard to your chromosome not working: if you created your .portal file first, and then changed the .laf file, you'll need to reload the markup from Workshop. See the second bullet item on this link: http://edocs.bea.com/wlp/docs92/portals/develop_portals.html#wp1011140
If you want, before you do the above, you can check the markup of your .portal file to see if it's correct. Open your .portal as XML, and find the <netuix:lookAndFeel> element. It should have a attributes for skinChromosome and skeletonChromosome that equal your new .chromosome file's name.
I don't believe that the Look and Feel editor supports inlined CSS rules at this time, but that is an optimization in scope for the next release.
