Installation

The LookAndFeel can be easily installed using the 'LafManager'

LafManager.install(); //For default theme (IntelliJ)
LafManager.install(new DarculaTheme()); //Specify the used theme.

or by using the UIManager

LafManager.setTheme(new DarculaTheme());
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(DarkLaf.class.getCanonicalName());

Example

import com.github.weisj.darklaf.LafManager;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class DarklafDemo {

    public static void main(final 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.

Build

To build the project replace the build.gradle script with the one fitting your platform i.e.

• You only have a x86 cpp installation -> build_x86.gradle
• You only have a x64 cpp installation -> build_x64.gradle
• You have a 86x_64x_multilib installation -> build.gradle

Contribute

Here is a list of things that currently are not finished or need refinement. This list is a work in progress and being updated regulary. If you find any problems with the LaF feel free to submit an issue:

• Native window decorations on Linux and MacOS.
  • See jniplatform/cpp for the windows implementation.
• Adjustment of platform specific properties
  • See the properties folder especially the plaform folder.
  • See todo in DarkLaf
• Custom TabComponents may be visible during DnD with JTabbedPane.
• Right to left layout support in DarkTitlePane.
• Examine if Todo branch in TabbedPaneUtil needs something to be done about.
• Arrow button cycle support for JComboBox.
• More customizability for icons
