Class SynthLookAndFeel

Constructor Detail

• SynthLookAndFeel

  public SynthLookAndFeel()

  Creates a SynthLookAndFeel.

  For the returned SynthLookAndFeel to be useful you need to invoke load to specify the set of SynthStyles, or invoke setStyleFactory.

  See Also:

  load(java.io.InputStream, java.lang.Class<?>), setStyleFactory(javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthStyleFactory)

Method Detail

  region - Identifies the region of the specified component

  Returns:

  SynthStyle to use.

• updateStyles

  public static void updateStyles(Component c)

  Updates the style associated with c, and all its children. This is a lighter version of SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI.

  Parameters:

  c - Component to update style for.

• getRegion

  public static Region getRegion(JComponent c)

  Returns the Region for the JComponent c.

• load

  public void load(InputStream input,
          Class<?> resourceBase)
            throws ParseException

  Loads the set of SynthStyles that will be used by this SynthLookAndFeel. resourceBase is used to resolve any path based resources, for example an Image would be resolved by resourceBase.getResource(path). Refer to Synth File Format for more information.

  Parameters:

  input - InputStream to load from

  resourceBase - used to resolve any images or other resources

  Throws:

  ParseException - if there is an error in parsing

  IllegalArgumentException - if input or resourceBase is null

• load

  public void load(URL url)
            throws ParseException,
                   IOException

  Loads the set of SynthStyles that will be used by this SynthLookAndFeel. Path based resources are resolved relatively to the specified URL of the style. For example an Image would be resolved by new URL(synthFile, path). Refer to Synth File Format for more information.

  Parameters:

  url - the URL to load the set of SynthStyle from

  Throws:

  ParseException - if there is an error in parsing

  IllegalArgumentException - if synthSet is null

  IOException - if synthSet cannot be opened as an InputStream
