Usage & Features

A list of all features can be found here. The LaF is compatible with Java >=1.8 (you need >=1.9 to get proper scaling). This project is available on Maven Central:

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.weisj</groupId>
  <artifactId>darklaf</artifactId>
  <version>[1.3.3.5,)</version>
</dependency>

Gradle

implementation 'com.github.weisj:darklaf-core:[1.3.3.5,)'

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 themeable 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 can be enabled by setting the appropriate client property of the component. They can be found here.

This LookAndFeel supports custom window decorations (only on 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

./gradlew build

When building on Windows, you need a C++ toolchain installed to build native extension.

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.
Create missing demo classes. (See Todo's in test/ui/)
