Hi everyone,
in continuation of the thread
"Choice of file chooser in import sequence is not respected":
Maybe there is a simple way to get a nicer view of the Directory Chooser
on non-Macintosh operating systems.
The following ImageJ macro could help a bit:
eval("js","javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel(javax.swing.UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());");
For some flavors of Linux, I fear that this will not be an improvement.
Also note that other javax.swing windows will change their appearance as
well, e.g. the Command Finder (<ctrl>-L).
Thus, I would be interested to get feedback (especially Linux & Windows
users) whether this should be done in ImageJ by default?
To test it, run the macro and then File>Import Image Sequence, and press
the 'Browse' button to get a Directory Chooser (needs at least ImageJ
1.53d).
Also please have a look at Plugins>Utilities>Find Commands and the
'Help' of Edit>Options>Point Tool, whether you like their new appearance.
Users of Jerome Mutterer's Action Panels will also see a changed appearance.
My impression is that the "System Look and Feel" is not a real
improvement under Ubuntu Linux. On other operating systems it may be
different (e.g. on MacOS, where the Directory Chooser is not affected, I
would prefer the SystemLookAndFeel for the Command Finder).
What is your preference?
Michael
