Great App for JavaTM UI Development!
Camickr's UI Defaults
I found a real gem for all you developers out there building Java Swing applications on the
Sun Java Developer's Forum
.
ShowUIDefaults is a stand-alone Java application that allows you to view all the keys and values associated with the
javax.swing.UIDefaults LookAndFeel properties, such as fonts, borders, icons and colors. There isn't a lot of good
documentation out there regarding all the UI properties available to java developers when implementing the new Java 6 UI model in
their javax.swing applications.
Now you might be asking, "what's a camickr?" It's - I mean - he is a darn good java programmer who was nice enough
to post his code for the ShowUIDefaults properties viewer to the Java developer's forum. (camickr is his forum username.
27,500+ posts and counting!) The real difference with camickr's viewer over other UI defaults
listers I've seen is: the keys and values are catergorized by component types in a tabbed pane
interface...nice! You can now choose between four LookAndFeels and examine their individual properties.
