Hello,
First, congratulations for this wonderful program to all who contributed
to it!
I start using and programming it (although I am *not* a Java programmer,
I learn much with the macro recorder). I would like to run ImageJ under
Windows XP with an XP look&feel. I read here
(
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/plaf.html) that
this is possible, starting from Java 1.4.2. However, I cannot manage to
get this Win XP look&feel with ImageJ. I have tried:
+ the command line option:
-Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel
added to ImageJ.cfg
+ the 'swing.properties' file added to the /jre/lib subdir.
+ changing line 50 of Java2.java from
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
to
UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");
and recompiling ImageJ.
But I still got the old looking widgets. I tried ImageJ 1.35B with Java
1.5.0_04. I think these are the latest versions. I can manage to get a
*partial* XP look&feel by adding a java.exe.manifest in the same dir as
javaw.exe. However, buttons and checkboxes still keep the old look&feel,
while other controls are OK.
May be I don't understand when the Java2 class is called. Is JRE
1.5.0_04 considered as Java 2 or not?
Thanks for the help,
Philippe Grosjean
