  5. Using Substance in you app • Go to https://substance.dev.java.net • Download the latest substance.jar • Use one of the three options: • UIManager.setLookAndFeel( new SubstanceLookAndFeel()) • UIManager.setLookAndFeel( “org.jvnet.substance.SubstanceLookAndFeel”) • -Dswing.defaultlaf=org.jvnet.substance.SubstanceLookAndFeel

  6. Substance themes • Contains information on control colors for different visual states (disabled, default, active) • Base class – SubstanceTheme • Use bundled core themes • Use APIs to create derived themes • Extend and create a custom theme

  7. Substance simple themes SubstanceAquaTheme SubstanceBottleGreenTheme SubstancePurpleTheme SubstanceOliveTheme

  8. Substance derived themes • Invert, negate, saturate, hue-shift and color-blind Example of hue-shift: SubstanceTheme theme = SubstanceLookAndFeel.getTheme(); SubstanceTheme shifted = theme.hueShift(-0.5); SubstanceLookAndFeel.setCurrentTheme(shifted);

  9. Substance watermarks • Simple watermarks • Image-based watermarks SubstanceBinaryWatermark SubstanceWoodWatermark SubstanceImageWatermark + APP_TILE

  10. Substance skins • A collection of various settings (theme, watermark, painters, shapers etc). • In org.jvnet.substance.skin package • Can set as • SubstanceLookAndFeel.setSkin(…) • Derived look and feel classes based on a specific skin (set with UIManager or VM flag)

  11. Substance toned-down skins SubstanceBusinessLookAndFeel SubstanceBusinessBlackSteelLookAndFeel SubstanceCremeLookAndFeel SubstanceSaharaLookAndFeel

  12. Substance dark skins SubstanceRavenGraphiteLookAndFeel SubstanceRavenLookAndFeel SubstanceEmeraldDuskLookAndFeel SubstanceChallengerDeepLookAndFeel

  13. Substance saturated skins SubstanceOfficeBlue2007LookAndFeel SubstanceFieldOfWheatLookAndFeel SubstanceGreenMagicLookAndFeel SubstanceFindingNemoLookAndFeel

  14. Configuring animations • LafWidget.ANIMATION_KIND – controls animation speed (0.5 sec for a transition by default) • FadeConfigurationManager APIs – to enable / disable animations • On a specific control • On control class (JTree, for example) • Globally

  15. Custom appearance • Theme – extend SubstanceTheme or use derivation APIs • Watermark – implement SubstanceWatermark • Skin – implement SubstanceSkin or extend SubstanceAbstractSkin (provides basic functionality) • See existing core implementation and test app for examples

  16. Additional UI elements • Substance provides additional “feel” part for some Swing components • These are called widgets • Some widgets are turned on by default • Most widgets are configurable • Some widgets are not visible – behavior only

  17. Widget examples • Menu search panel on big menus • Lock icon on non-editable text components • Auto-completion on editable comboboxes • Password strength checker • Tab overview panel • Tree smart scroll

  18. Substance plugins • Substance provides a plugin mechanism for third-party components • No need to change the code – just drop the plugin jar in the classpath • Available plugins for: • NetBeans– module supports 5.0 and 5.5 • SwingX at https://swingx.dev.java.net • Flamingo at https://flamingo.dev.java.net

  19. SwingXplugin • Provides consistent appearance (colors, fonts, animation) for • Task pane container and task panes • Status bar • Month view • Date picker • Translucency on JXPanel • More to come as SwingX matures and reaches the first release
