SynthStyleFactory
. Both configuration options
require an understanding of the synth architecture, which is described below,
as well as an understanding of Swing's architecture.
Unless otherwise specified null is not a legal value to any of the methods
defined in the synth package and if passed in will result in a
NullPointerException
.
ComponentUI
implementation in Synth associates
itself with one SynthStyle
per
Region
, most Components
only have one
Region
and therefor only one SynthStyle
. SynthStyle
is used to access all style related properties: fonts, colors
and other Component
properties. In addition SynthStyle
s are
used to obtain SynthPainter
s for painting the
background, border, focus and other portions of a Component
. The
ComponentUI
s obtain SynthStyle
s from a
SynthStyleFactory
. A SynthStyleFactory
can be provided directly by way of
SynthLookAndFeel.setStyleFactory(javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthStyleFactory)
,
or indirectly by way of SynthLookAndFeel.load(java.io.InputStream, java.lang.Class<?>)
.
The following example uses the SynthLookAndFeel.load()
method to
configure a SynthLookAndFeel
and sets it as the current look and
feel:
SynthLookAndFeel laf = new SynthLookAndFeel();
laf.load(MyClass.class.getResourceAsStream("laf.xml"), MyClass.class);
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(laf);
Many JComponent
s are broken down into smaller pieces and identified
by the type safe enumeration in Region
. For
example, a JTabbedPane
consists of a Region
for the
JTabbedPane
(Region.TABBED_PANE
), the
content area (Region.TABBED_PANE_CONTENT
), the
area behind the tabs
(Region.TABBED_PANE_TAB_AREA
), and the tabs
(Region.TABBED_PANE_TAB
). Each
Region
of each JComponent
will have a SynthStyle
.
This allows you to customize individual pieces of each region of each
JComponent
.
Many of the Synth methods take a SynthContext
.
This is used to provide information about the current Component
and
includes: the SynthStyle
associated with the
current Region
, the state of the
Component
as a bitmask (refer to
SynthConstants
for the valid states), and a
Region
identifying the portion of the
Component
being painted.
All text rendering by non-JTextComponent
s is delegated to a
SynthGraphicsUtils
, which is obtained using
the SynthStyle
method
SynthStyle.getGraphicsUtils(javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthContext)
. You can customize
text rendering by supplying your own
SynthGraphicsUtils
.
Region.TREE_CELL
. To specify the colors of the
renderer you'll want to provide a style for the
TREE_CELL
region. The following illustrates this:
<style id="treeCellStyle">
<opaque value="TRUE"/>
<state>
<color value="WHITE" type="TEXT_FOREGROUND"/>
<color value="RED" type="TEXT_BACKGROUND"/>
</state>
<state value="SELECTED">
<color value="RED" type="TEXT_FOREGROUND"/>
<color value="WHITE" type="BACKGROUND"/>
</state>
</style>
<bind style="treeCellStyle" type="region" key="TreeCell"/>
This specifies a color combination of red on white, when selected, and white on red when not selected. To see the background you need to specify that labels are not opaque. The following XML fragment does that:
<style id="labelStyle">
<opaque value="FALSE"/>
</style>
<bind style="labelStyle" type="region" key="Label"/>
<style id="style">
<opaque value="TRUE"/>
<state>
<color value="WHITE" type="TEXT_FOREGROUND"/>
<color value="RED" type="TEXT_BACKGROUND"/>
<color value="RED" type="BACKGROUND"/>
</state>
<state value="SELECTED">
<color value="RED" type="TEXT_FOREGROUND"/>
<color value="WHITE" type="TEXT_BACKGROUND"/>
</state>
</style>
<bind style="style" type="region" key="Table"/>
<bind style="style" type="region" key="List"/>
