look-and-feel

I want to override java look and feel. I just want to show the buttons differently. I want all the features of Windows Look and Feel but only buttons differently. I hope you get my point. Color color = new Color(220, 220, 220, 200); UIManager.put("OptionPane.background", color); UIManager.put("Panel.background", color); UIManager.put("Button.foreground", new Color(255, 255, 255, 255)); List<Object> gradients = new ArrayList<Object>(5); gradients.add(0.00f); gradients.add(0.00f); gradients.add(new Color(0xC1C1C1)); gradients.add(new Color(0xFFFFFF)); gradients.add(new Color(0x5C5D5C));

I have the following problem. I need to get an UI properties: UIManager.getString("OptionPane.okButtonText") that returns the string "OK" , and it works. However, if I iterate through the UIDefaults keyset, I never get the key "OptionPane.okButtonText" . Does anyone know why it happens? I get the UIDefaults in three different way ( UIManager.getDefaults() , UIManager.getLookAndFeel().getDefaults() and UIManager.getLookAndFeelDefaults() ), but no one of these work. Edit : I also find this list of properties of the class JFileChooser , that contains some properties that do not appear int the

Is there a way to change the default font size in the Swing GTK LaF? The GTK LaF seems to assume 72dpi, so all the fonts are only 3/4 of the size they should be when using a 96dpi screen. See this Fedora bug for details. I'd like to find a workaround in the meantime, while I wait for the fix. I've already tried resetting the font size via UIDefaults , as recommended here , for example, but (as also noted there) the GTK LaF appears to ignore this. I could build a widget factory that would also set the desired font size for creating all of my Swing widgets, but that's going to be massively

I'm using the Nimbus Look & Feel within my Java Swing application. The L&F looks great, but i need to change some settings (Fonts, Colors, ... ) to fit the corporate identity of my firm. The following code sets the L&F of the whole application: try { for( LookAndFeelInfo info : UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels() ) { if( "Nimbus".equals( info.getName() ) ) { UIManager.setLookAndFeel(info.getClassName()); customizeNimbusLaF(); break; } } } catch( Exception e ) { LogUtility.warning( "cannot set application look and feel" ); LogUtility.warning( e.getMessage() ); } The code does, what it is

Is there a way to have the Nimbus Look&Feel render its own windows decorations for a top level JFrame ? I've been digging through the Internet, and I'm starting to suspect it might not be possible at all. Has anyone actually succeeded with (and cared about) that? Nimbus decorations are nice and neat for internal frames , but apparently there is no way to have the same effect on JFrame s and JDialog s. I tried nimbusx (Nimbus Extensions), a library that subclasses JFrame and JDialog and allegedly applies nimbus-styled decorations to them (then you just have to instantiate nimbusx classes

The JTableHaeder has no 'pressed' highlighting by default. (Nimbus) NimbusDefaults says it has a default [Pressed] background painter. What should I do, to see this when i click on the TableHeader? UPDATE 1 The NimbusStyle.getExtendedState returns the PRESSED on mouseDown correctly. But the NimbusStyle.getBackgroundPainter(SynthContext) returns null cause there is an null in the NimbusStyle.Values cache for the CacheKey "backgroundPainter$$instance" with this state. What is wrong there? UPDATE 2 My example shows a JTableHeader and a JScrollBar with an 'Pressed Behavior'. For the JScrollBar my
