Darklaf - A Darcula Look and Feel

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.

Roadmap

• Finish all ui classes for the dark variant.
• Port/Create light variant.
• Enable custom theming.
