Sea Glass Look and Feel
I’m currently working on getting JTextField to use the client property of “JTextField.variant” equals to “search” to print a rounded search field with an hourglass in it.
My outer glow is messed up, but worse, my internal drop shadow is messed up.
I’m using the Nimbus Effects classes, which I note that Nimbus itself doesn’t seem to use. Possibly for performance reasons. I could just draw the stuff, but then it wouldn’t necessarily work at higher DPI.
Anyway, there are probably more important things I could be working on in Sea Glass, but this is something I really want.
Okay, I’m getting this working. Slowly. It has to do with the way scaling works in Nimbus.
I have been trying to do that too, but then without the hourglass hehe. Would be great if that’d be optional. I now wrote it myself (so it effectively simply becomes a rounded JTextField)
Fine, we’ll make it optional. I think the baseline behavior will be close to Apple’s, but we can certainly add our own behavior.
