We are trying to get quaqua out of our application but we had been using a call to quaqua to set the font size to be smaller with a call like this: System.setProperty("Quaqua.sizeStyle", "small"); My question is there an easy to do the same sort of thing without using quaqua? Or does anyone know another good look and feel for os x? ...

I have a single JPanel that contains a JSlider and a JLabel. I want to configure it so that when the JSlider's value is being changed by the user, that new value is reflected by the JLabel.

I'm doing some graphics processing and HTML is a perfect choice for styling the displayed content. I'm trying to reuse swing's built in html support, and it works perfectly if I hard code the height passed to View.paint, but I can't figure out how to determine how tall the bounds of the rendered content would be at runtime given a specif...

I have a class derived from JTree with custom TreeCellRenderers. I have implemented drag and drop in that tree, so a user can rearrange tree nodes. The drop mode is DropMode.ON_OR_INSERT, so the user can drop nodes on or between other nodes. While the user is dragging the node, if the pointer points between nodes, a blue line is drawn i...
Hello, Sorry for the odd choice of words for the title, however, "border" seems to be the inappropriate term. While it is true that the visible line surrounding an icon in a JToggleButton can be made invisible by using setBorderPainted(false), the same is not true for JCheckBox and JRadioButton. I can not use the JToggleButton and the...

I have an editable JComboBox where I want to take some action whenever the text is changed, either by typing or selection. In this case, the text is a pattern and I want to verify that the pattern is valid and show the matches that result in some test data. Having done the obvious, attach an ActionHandler, I have found that, for typing...

The idea is to make my server...

I don't want to allow the user to change the "prompt" and older output. I am thinking of something like Windows CM...
