I have an application that uses disabled JTextFields in several places which are intended to be transparent - allowing the background to show through instead of the text field's normal background. When running the new Nimbus LAF these fields are opaque (despite setting setOpaque(false)), and my UI is broken. It's as if the LAF is ignor...
I'm trying to use Nimbus Look and Feel and I can't simply plug it in to replace other Look and feel because it adds some external padding around each component. So, I would like to remove this padding. This is the list of defaults that can be changed, however the following code changes nothing. UIManager.put("Button.contentMargins", ne...
Hello! I'm referring to this Nimbus reference. I tried to set global Font to be slightly larger: UIManager.put("defaultFont", new Font(Font.SANS_SERIF, 0, 16)); ...works only for the menu but nothing else (buttons, labels). I tried to change labels and buttons fonts with UIManager.put("Button.font", new Font(Font.SANS_SERIF, 0, ...
I am working on my MacBook at home, running Leopard, with the latest JDK 1.6 from Apple installed. In IDE, I'd like to browse source code for com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel, but IDE cannot find it. Another example I'd like to browse is com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.ButtonPainter. What JAR or ZIP do I need to add to my...
I have a simple-ish cell renderer which is composed of a few JLabels (the renderer itself extends JPanel) and I'm trying to get it to render sensibly in the Nimbus look and feel. Basically what is happening is that in the lighter rows (as Nimbus has alternate row coloring), my specific cell renderer is using the table background color (...
I asked this question about a problem I was seing with a cell renderer using the Nimbus look and feel and the issue has turned out to be possibly to do with Scala. Basically I have a cell renderer which extends Panel (as opposed to DefaultTableCellRenderer) and it is behaving oddly: it is not rendering the alternate row colors properly w...

I'm currently trying to write a custom ListCellRenderer for a JList. Unfortunately, nearly all examples simply use DefaultListCellRenderer as a JLabel and be done with it; I needed a JPanel, however (since I need to display a little more info than just an icon and one line of text). Now I have a problem with the background colors, speci...

How do I call a method of a class dynamically + conditionally? (Class is eventually not in classpath) Let's say, I need the class NimbusLookAndFeel, but on some systems it's not available (i.e. OpenJDK-6). So I must be able to: Get to know it that class is available (at runtime), If it's not the case, skip the whole thing. How do I m...
