Macintoshįor the Mac UI I was very lucky that I could use Ken Orr’s outstanding MacWidgets library. It gave me a great head start and I almost instantly looked at an application that fit right onto Macs. So far so good, unfortunately it is not very usable for Windows. the Window title and the toolbar appear as a single component / panel).Ĭollapp running on MacIntosh showing action items Windows / Linux The MacWidgets components really only work nicely on Mac, which in return shows how much attention to detail the Apple engineers put into the Aqua UI. So, what to do on Windows and Linux? Plan A was to use the Open Source look and feel project “ Seaglass“. I presented this solution at JavaOne 2010 in San Francisco (Black Eyed Peas rocked!!!!) and for a long time I was very confident that I would end up using this approach. However, the development activities on this project slowed down quite a bit and there were always these little things that just didn’t seem right. Collapp felt quite sluggish when using Seaglass. I started to get worried that I would end up with no UI strategy for non-Mac platforms, but then I read on Jonathan Giles’ excellent blog “ Java Desktop Links of the Week” about BizLaf, a commercial look and feel implementation for Swing. I must say that BizLaf has been able to convince me 100%, because: I was first put off by the idea that I would have to pay for it, but still decided to evaluate it. It is extremely easy to integrate and use.One can easily see that very talented designers had their say in the development of BizLaf. Simply call the standard tLookAndFeel() method and then set a “style” on your components. According to Centigrade this is because it runs on top of their L&F engine “Cezanne”. It uses a semantic approach, which means that BizLaf “knows” whether a panel is just a simple panel or a toolbar, or a header, or a status bar.I can confirm that it performs excellent even on my old company laptop running Windows XP. #Mac aqua look and feel for java on windows download softwareĮach one of them will be rendered differently.#Mac aqua look and feel for java on windows download full.#Mac aqua look and feel for java on windows download drivers.#Mac aqua look and feel for java on windows download mac os x.#Mac aqua look and feel for java on windows download for mac.
