INTRODUCTION |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
This maintenance update adds features useful for tweaking |
| 10 |
the text field selection on keyboard focus gain. The JGoodies |
| 11 |
Windows L&f now uses "Windows" as ID to comply with the |
| 12 |
LookAndFeel#getID specification. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
NEW FEATURES |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
o The feature that selects text field text on focus gain can now |
| 18 |
be enabled or disabled globally, and it can be overridden |
| 19 |
per field. See Options#setSelectOnFocusGainEnabled(boolean) and |
| 20 |
#setSelectOnFocusGain(JTextField, Boolean). As before, the feature |
| 21 |
is enabled by default. |
| 22 |
o If the select on focus gain is enabled, the selection is from |
| 23 |
start to end by default. The selection bias can be configured |
| 24 |
as end to start using Options#INVERT_SELECTION_CLIENT_KEY. |
| 25 |
Useful if the field contains text that typically will be reentered |
| 26 |
and where the leading text is more important than the trail. |
| 27 |
o On focus lost the caret can be positioned at the start. |
| 28 |
See Options#SET_CARET_TO_START_ON_FOCUS_LOST_CLIENT_KEY. |
| 29 |
This is useful for short fields where the lead text shall |
| 30 |
be visible after focus lost, because it is more important |
| 31 |
than the trail. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
BUG FIXES |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
o The select on focus gain is applied only to editable fields. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
OTHER CHANGES |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
o JGoodies WindowsLookAndFeel#getID now returns "Windows" |
| 42 |
where it returned "JGoodies Windows" before. |
| 43 |
o Updated to the Forms 1.2.1. |
| 44 |
o Minor source code improvements. |

INTRODUCTION |
| 164 |
|
| 165 |
This JGoodies Looks version 2.1 fixes bugs, comes with |
| 166 |
a few improvements and adds micro layout customization. |
| 167 |
Version 2.1 is binary incompatible with previous versions. |
| 168 |
However the changes will affect only very few API users. |
| 169 |
|
| 170 |
The most visible changes are a new gray filter for icons, |
| 171 |
new Plastic icons, Vista improvements, and that text is |
| 172 |
selected after keyboard focus changes. |
| 173 |
|
| 174 |
The micro layout API allows to customize the insets, |
| 175 |
margins, and gaps used in the components. The default |
| 176 |
micro layout aims to comply with the "Microsoft Layout |
| 177 |
Specification and Guidelines". The default is used for |
| 178 |
the JGoodies Windows L&f and the Plastic L&f family. |
| 179 |
Since most native Windows applications don't comply |
| 180 |
with the Windows style guide, you may wish to change |
| 181 |
the micro layout to be closer to a given native app, |
| 182 |
such as MS Office, MS Internet Explorer, etc. |
| 183 |
From my perspective the micro layout specified in |
| 184 |
the Windows style guide is best for Windows, and it's |
| 185 |
good on other platforms. It aims to reduce visual noise |
| 186 |
by using consistent component sizes and text positions |
| 187 |
for all components that are arranged in a row. Therefore |
| 188 |
I recommend to use the default micro layout. |
| 189 |
A custom micro layout may be useful, if you design |
| 190 |
many large forms and vertical space is scarce. You can |
| 191 |
then define smaller insets to gain more space. |
| 192 |
|
| 193 |
|
| 194 |
CHANGES THAT AFFECT THE COMPATIBILITY |
| 195 |
|
| 196 |
o Removed the deprecated Options.IS_NARROW_KEY. |
| 197 |
Use Options#setUseNarrowButtons(boolean) instead. |
| 198 |
o Removed the deprecated Options.TEXT_AREA_INFO_BACKGROUND_KEY. |
| 199 |
We suggest to use a factory that vends JTextArea's |
| 200 |
with the background set to the editable background instead. |
| 201 |
o Removed the deprecated methods PlasticLookAndFeel#getMyCurrentTheme |
| 202 |
and PlasticLookAndFeel#setMyCurrentTheme. These have been replaced |
| 203 |
in the Looks 2.0 by #getPlasticTheme and #setPlasticTheme. |
| 204 |
o Key constants for setting a FontPolicy by name have been renamed |
| 205 |
to be consistent with the feature they describe, e.g. |
| 206 |
"Plastic.fontChoicePolicy" -> "Plastic.fontPolicy". |
| 207 |
This won't affect you if you use the API method |
| 208 |
xxxLookAndFeel#setFontPolicy or the key value from the |
| 209 |
Options class, for example Options.PLASTIC_FONT_POLICY_KEY |
| 210 |
|
| 211 |
|
| 212 |
BUGS FIXED |
| 213 |
|
| 214 |
#088: SplitPaneDivider ignores the opaque property of the split pane. |
| 215 |
#111: RTL menus have problems with accelerator alignment. |
| 216 |
#128: Windows XP table header border is wrong. |
| 217 |
#131: Tabbed pane content is not properly centered in WinXP L&f. |
| 218 |
#150: Vista read-only combo renderer not transparent. |
| 219 |
#152: Vista read-only combo box lacks focus dashed rect. |
| 220 |
#???: NPE in ShadowPopup#hide |
| 221 |
|
| 222 |
|
| 223 |
NEW FEATURES |
| 224 |
|
| 225 |
#087: Added a new gray filter for disabled icons in Java 5 and later. |
| 226 |
It can be enabled or disabled globally; it is on by default. |
| 227 |
The global setting can be overridden per component, see: |
| 228 |
Options.setHiResGrayFilterEnabled and the |
| 229 |
Options#HI_RES_DISABLED_ICON_CLIENT_KEY client property key. |
| 230 |
#116: Provide option to customize the component micro layout. |
| 231 |
#117: Consider removing more combo box renderer borders. |
| 232 |
Added the Options.COMBO_RENDERER_IS_BORDER_REMOVABLE hint |
| 233 |
for combo box renders that indicates whether a border |
| 234 |
can be temporarily removed when painting the current value. |
| 235 |
This is useful for custom Windows combo renderers. |
| 236 |
#151: Select text field text after focus gained by keyboard. |
| 237 |
This is done in the Windows L&f, and can be enabled for Plastic, |
| 238 |
see PlasticLookandFeel#setSelectTextOnKeyboardFocusGained. |
| 239 |
For Plastic this feature is enabled by default on Windows. |
| 240 |
|
| 241 |
|
| 242 |
OTHER CHANGES |
| 243 |
|
| 244 |
#040: Consider improving instance reuse. |
| 245 |
#048: Add 3D icons for PlasticXP's tree collapse/expand. |
| 246 |
#093: Consider making PlasticXP spinner buttons round. |
| 247 |
#132: PlasticXP checkbox/radio button without text doesn't paint focus. |
| 248 |
#133: Consider making PlasticXP toolbar button rollover border round. |
| 249 |
|
| 250 |
o Plastic uses Tango icons, see www.tango-project.org. |
| 251 |
o Plastic option pane icon size honors the software resolution. |

|
| 412 |
INTRODUCTION |
| 413 |
|
| 414 |
This JGoodies Looks version 2.0 fixes bugs, comes with |
| 415 |
many improvements and uses an overhauled font lookup. |
| 416 |
The contained Windows L&f and Plastic L&fs supercede |
| 417 |
all previous version w.r.t. consistency, design precision, |
| 418 |
and support for Java 5, Java 6 and Windows Vista. |
| 419 |
|
| 420 |
Version 2.0 is binary and visually incompatible with the |
| 421 |
Looks 1.x; however most API changes are simplifications and |
| 422 |
the visual changes improve the consistency of your apps. |
| 423 |
|
| 424 |
The font lookup in the Windows L&f has been overhauled. |
| 425 |
Text component insets have been adjusted to better comply |
| 426 |
with the "Microsoft Layout Specification and Guidelines". |
| 427 |
Also, Windows Vista is now supported: bounds, insets and |
| 428 |
font baseline positions are consistent on the Vista betas. |
| 429 |
|
| 430 |
The Plastic L&f family component bounds and insets |
| 431 |
have been adjusted to the new Windows bounds and insets. |
| 432 |
The Plastic font lookup has been completely overhauled; |
| 433 |
it is great on Windows and works well on other platforms. |
| 434 |
|
| 435 |
The new font customization mechanism allows you to change |
| 436 |
the fonts per L&f, platform, locale and desktop settings. |
| 437 |
|
| 438 |
|
| 439 |
CHANGES THAT AFFECT THE BINARY COMPATIBILITY |
| 440 |
|
| 441 |
The old font options (FontSizeHints, etc) have been replaced |
| 442 |
by the new FontPolicy mechanism and predefined FontPolicies. |
| 443 |
|
| 444 |
o Replaced Options.CONTROL_FONT_KEY and MENU_FONT_KEY by: |
| 445 |
- PLASTIC_FONT_CHOICE_POLICY_KEY |
| 446 |
- PLASTIC_CONTROL_FONT_KEY |
| 447 |
- PLASTIC_MENU_FONT_KEY |
| 448 |
- WINDOWS_FONT_CHOICE_POLICY_KEY |
| 449 |
- WINDOWS_CONTROL_FONT_KEY |
| 450 |
- WINDOWS_MENU_FONT_KEY |
| 451 |
o Removed Options.EXT_WINDOWS_NAME |
| 452 |
o Removed Options.FONT_SIZE_HINTS_KEY |
| 453 |
o Removed Options#getGlobalFontSizeHints |
| 454 |
o Removed Options#setGlobalFontSizeHints |
| 455 |
o Removed PlasticLookAndFeel#getFontSizeHints |
| 456 |
o Removed PlasticLookAndFeel#setFontSizeHints |
| 457 |
o Removed WindowsLookAndFeel#getFontSizeHints |
| 458 |
o Removed WindowsLookAndFeel#setFontSizeHints |
| 459 |
o Removed FontSizeHints |
| 460 |
o Removed LookUtils#createButtonMargin(boolean) |
| 461 |
o Removed LookUtils#installNarrowMargin |
| 462 |
o Removed FontUtils |
| 463 |
o Options#initializeDefaultReplacements now private |
| 464 |
o Removed obsolete Plastic themes: SkyBluerTahoma, |
| 465 |
ExperienceBlueDefaultFont, DesertBluerDefautFont |
| 466 |
|
| 467 |
|
| 468 |
CHANGES THAT AFFECT THE VISUAL COMPATIBILITY |
| 469 |
|
| 470 |
Options#getUseNarrowButtons returns true by default. |
| 471 |
Although the narrow margins are the correct button margins, |
| 472 |
it leads to poor design if you don't ensure a reasonable |
| 473 |
minimum width for buttons with a short text, e.g. "OK". |
| 474 |
You can disable this feature using #setUseNarrowButtons(false), |
| 475 |
which was the behavior in the JGoodies Looks 1.x. |
| 476 |
|
| 477 |
Options.DEFAULT_LOOK_NAME is now PLASTICXP_NAME |
| 478 |
making PlasticXP the default L&f when chosen via |
| 479 |
the Options L&f names. PLASTICXP_NAME is also returned |
| 480 |
by Options#getCrossPlatformLookAndFeelClassName. |
| 481 |
|
| 482 |
On Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/2003/XP the JGoodies Windows L&f |
| 483 |
follows the "Microsoft Layout Specifications and Guidelines" |
| 484 |
even closer than the JGoodies Windows L&f version 1.3. |
| 485 |
Components that are arranged in a row have perceived bounds |
| 486 |
of 14 dialog units (dlu). Since Windows XP command buttons |
| 487 |
(in the default styles) have two transparent lines in |
| 488 |
the top and bottom, the concrete command button bounds |
| 489 |
are 2 pixels larger than for the textfield, combo, etc. |
| 490 |
If you lay out them in a row and center them vertically |
| 491 |
the perceived (aka visual) bounds will be aligned. |
| 492 |
On Windows Vista the JGoodies Windows L&f dimensions |
| 493 |
and insets are based on the "Windows Vista UX Guidelines" |
| 494 |
version 0.8. The JGoodies sizes differ slightly from |
| 495 |
the sizes recommended by these guidelines. For example |
| 496 |
the guidelines recommend to make a text field on 96dpi |
| 497 |
with normal fonts 20px tall, a combo 21px and buttons 22px |
| 498 |
(or 13dlu). The JGoodies Windows L&f uses consistent sizes, |
| 499 |
insets and font baseline positions for all components |
| 500 |
that are arranged in a row - just as recommended in all |
| 501 |
previous Windows editions, but based on 13dlu because |
| 502 |
the new default font Segoe UI is significantly taller. |
| 503 |
|
| 504 |
The default font chosen on Windows now honors the desktop |
| 505 |
font setting (Normal/Large/Extra Large) if supported |
| 506 |
by the Windows version, Windows language, and Java renderer. |
| 507 |
Microsoft recommends to use the desktop setting "font size" |
| 508 |
to get larger fonts, many applications ignore it and |
| 509 |
just scale with the software resolution (96dpi/120dpi). |
| 510 |
On 96dpi the new font doesn't differ from the |
| 511 |
font chosen by the Looks 1.x; it's Tahoma 8pt on modern |
| 512 |
Windows, and Segoe UI 9pt on Vista. On 120dpi the new font |
| 513 |
is 1px taller than the font used by the Looks 1.x. |
| 514 |
|
| 515 |
The Plastic L&f family uses Windows fonts on Windows |
| 516 |
and logical fonts on all other platforms. In the Looks 1.x |
| 517 |
most Plastic themes used the Tahoma font on all platforms. |
| 518 |
If Tahoma was absent, the logical fonts were used. |
| 519 |
|
| 520 |
|
| 521 |
VISUAL BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY |
| 522 |
|
| 523 |
We recommend to use the new default settings and it is |
| 524 |
strongly recommended to use the new font lookup on Windows. |
| 525 |
However, here's how you can get the appearance of |
| 526 |
the Looks 1.x. The configurations listed below |
| 527 |
must be performed before you install a look&feel. |
| 528 |
|
| 529 |
To get the wrong wide button margins, call: |
| 530 |
Options.setNarrowMargins(false). |
| 531 |
|
| 532 |
To use the Looks 1.x fonts in the Windows L&f use: |
| 533 |
WindowsLookAndFeel.setFontPolicy( |
| 534 |
FontPolicies.getLooks1xWindowsPolicy()); |
| 535 |
|
| 536 |
To use the Looks 1.x fonts in the Plastic L&fs use: |
| 537 |
PlasticLookAndFeel.setFontPolicy( |
| 538 |
FontPolicies.getLooks1xPlasticPolicy()); |
| 539 |
|
| 540 |
To give Plastic the new fonts on Windows and the |
| 541 |
Looks 1.x fonts on other platforms use: |
| 542 |
PlasticLookAndFeel.setFontPolicy( |
| 543 |
FontPolicies.getTransitionalPlasticPolicy()); |
| 544 |
|
| 545 |
You can customize the control font and menu font |
| 546 |
in the system properties for Windows and Plastic: |
| 547 |
java -jar -DWindows.controlFont="Tahoma-plain-11" |
| 548 |
-DWindows.menuFont="Tahoma-plain-12" |
| 549 |
-DPlastic.controlFont="Tahoma-plain-11" |
| 550 |
-DPlastic.menuFont="Verdana-bold-12" |
| 551 |
myapplication.jar |
| 552 |
If the menu font is not specified, the control font |
| 553 |
will be used for menus too. |
| 554 |
|
| 555 |
|
| 556 |

KNOWN ISSUES |
| 597 |
|
| 598 |
Plastic 3D effect broken on Mac OS X Tiger with Java 1.4 and 5. |
| 599 |
Due to a bug in the Tiger Java2D implementation, the pseudo 3D |
| 600 |
up and down effects are not rendered. Instead a plain white |
| 601 |
is painted. See also issue #92. |
| 602 |
|
| 603 |
|
| 604 |
NEW FEATURES |
| 605 |
|
| 606 |

| 610 |
o Narrow buttons can be disabled in the system properties. |
| 611 |
o Added a JPopupMenu client property for no-margin borders, |
| 612 |
see Options#NO_MARGIN_KEY. This is useful if a JPopupMenu |
| 613 |
contains a single component, for example a JScrollPane. |
| 614 |
o Added a JTextArea client property for an info background. |
| 615 |
This hint is used for non-editable areas that shall use |
| 616 |
the editable background, not the inactive background. |
| 617 |
|
| 618 |
|
| 619 |
DISTRIBUTION CHANGES |
| 620 |
|
| 621 |
o Merged the source folders 'src/common', 'src/plastic' |
| 622 |
and 'src/windows' to 'src/core'. |
| 623 |
o The sources no longer ship as a source Zip archive. |
| 624 |
They now come in the directory structure used by the CVS. |
| 625 |
This makes it easier to build the distribution using ANT. |
| 626 |
If you want to attach the library sources in an IDE, |
| 627 |
point to folder 'src/core'. |
| 628 |
|
