Wanted: Look & Feel developer (update)

Submitted by epr on Thu, 11/25/2004 - 06:58.

Since the GUI is coming along nicely, it would be very interesting to give JNode its own look & feel.

If you want to develop a good, clean and modern look & feel for JNode, please contact me.
The look & feel should be implemented as a custom Swing LookAndFeel.

Several people contacted me, which is very good news. I suggest to share your ideas on our gui forum so we can get as much combined effort as possible.

Substance look&feel

Submitted by smartini on Wed, 01/11/2006 - 09:39.

Hi to all, I've started to use a new Look&feel: Substance (for Java 5 or higher), it has a BSD license, and it's very modular and extensible using a plug-in extensions method, and some Locale are already supported.

You can find it here: https://substance.dev.java.net

In related Substance subprojects we are thinking/creating some specialized components, but there are already some enhanced color pickers, and other new-concept dialogs, like ribbon, etc. ...

The current release is 2.1, but in the coming 2.2 more useful features are coming ...

Bye,
Sandro

I think using the Synth

I think using the Synth look and feel and building up some Synth skins would be a good choice.
But is the AWT/Swing stuff already working?

Synth Support?

Maybe we should give the JNode Swing implementation support for the Synth look and feel to make it easily skinnable.

part of j2se 5

That's a part of j2se 5. So, if not already done, that will be implemented by Classpath team.

Resources

Submitted by monochromata on Sat, 12/25/2004 - 14:29.

I started implementing a custom look and feel and am currently looking for resources helping to understand the topic. Here is what I found:

JFC Unleased, Chapter 23 on creating a custom LF
http://mail.phys-iasi.ro/Library/Computing/jfc_unleashed/ch23.htm

An XP Look and Feel (to see how he did it)
http://www.stefan-krause.com/java/

I'm also using the sources of the Metal LF to try to understand how to implement a custom LF.

If anyone knows about other (especially higher-level) materials, please post a link.

Their java.net site https://l2fprod-common.dev.java.net/ says it's provided under an Apache Software License.
