This project is based on the darcula look and feel for Swing. Gradually all the custom UI and more from the darcula project wil be ported over and given a new look that follows the newer darcula look in IntelliJ.

Usage & Features

The LookAndFeel can be easily installed using the 'LafManager'

LafManager.install();

or by any other default method of setting the LaF of your swing application.

Example

import com.weis.darklaf.LafManager;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class DarklafDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
         SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> {
            LafManager.install();

            JFrame frame = new JFrame("Darklaf - A Darcula LaF for Swing");
            frame.setSize(600, 400);

            JButton button = new JButton("Click here!");

            JPanel content = new JPanel();
            content.add(button);

            frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            frame.setContentPane(content);
            frame.setVisible(true);
        });
    }
}

All custom component-variants and settings are customizable by setting the appropriate client property of the component.

//Todo: list of properties

This LookAndFeel supports custom window decorations (only Windows at this point). In contrast to most other LaFs the native window behaviour is not compromised giving a seamless experience that still looks native.
