虽然我们知道,一个桌面应用程序的好坏,和它的性能,功能有着很大关系, 然而,对于大多数坐在电脑前的用户而言,他们的标准往往是: 绚丽的外观MVC设计下的的SWING自然没有忽视这一点,通过对UIManager的设置,我们可以很容易的改变应用程序的外观,也就是LOOK AND FEEL
一.如何设置lookand feel:
改变外观,似乎是一个很麻烦的事情,幸运的是在swing里,我们只需要简单的一行代码就可以改变
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(newLookAndFeel());
比如:
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(newQuaquaLookAndFeel());
我们还可以通过
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(String s);
来改变外观,其中,s是表示该外观的路径,比如
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(
"org.fife.plaf.OfficeXP.OfficeXPLookAndFeel");
另外,如果该LookAnd Feel类对窗口的边框还有修饰的话,还可以通过
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
JDialog.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
这样一来,窗口就会采用该外观特制的边框
二.一些比较帅气的look and feel
swing自带提供了几种look and feel类,不过,这显然是不够的,下面,就让我们看看第三方都提供了些什么酷酷的外观咯:
1.Substance
这个项目的目的是提供一个流行的外观(look & feel)。这个外观(look & feel)联合了WindowsXP和MacOS 10.4最好的特性并且需要JDK 5.0以上。
将窗口的边框替换成Substance特定边框后,我们还可以通过点击其左上角的小方块来手工配制其外观,可以配制的有
主题,水印,按钮形状,渐变情况,看,这个蝴蝶形状的button多酷!
2.Smooth
提供了改进型的windows和metal风格的外观风格
提供了仿照Xp,Office2003和VS的外观风格
4.其他
在网站上罗列如今较为流行的外观类,大家有兴趣可以去研究一下咯^_^

三.使用方法
将下列jar文件拷贝到你的程序的classpath中,然后将下列代码段加入到你main函数中
(注,其实我在别的文章中给出了一个例子,http://210.42.106.102/bbs/viewth... &extra=page%3D1,
参见用java打造任意形状窗口一文中的的代码)
1.substancelook and feel:
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new SubstanceLookAndFeel());
UIManager.put("swing.boldMetal",false);
if(System.getProperty("substancelaf.useDecorations") == null) {
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
JDialog.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
}
System.setProperty("sun.awt.noerasebackground","true");
//设置当前的主题风格,同样我 们还可以设置当前的按钮形状,水印风格等等
SubstanceLookAndFeel.setCurrentTheme(new SubstanceLightAquaTheme());
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Oops! Something went wrong!");
}
2.smoothlook and feel
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new SmoothLookAndFeel());
UIManager.put("swing.boldMetal", false);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Oops! Something went wrong!");
}
3. office/winxp/VisualStudio 2005 look and feel
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel("org.fife.plaf.Office2003.Office2003LookAndFeel");
//UIManager.setLookAndFeel("org.fife.plaf.OfficeXP.OfficeXPLookAndFeel");
//UIManager.setLookAndFeel("org.fife.plaf.VisualStudio2005.VisualStudio2005LookAndFeel");
UIManager.put("swing.boldMetal", false);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Oops! Something went wrong!");
}
4、netbeans中使用方法:
try {
for(javax.swing.UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo info :javax.swing.UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels()) {
if("Windows".equals(info.getName())) {
javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel(info.getClassName());
break;
}
/**
* Metal Nimbus CDE/MotifWindows Windows Classic
*/
System.out.println(info.getName());
}
//javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.easynth.lookandfeel.EaSynthLookAndFeel");
//javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel("org.jvnet.substance.SubstanceLookAndFeel");
//com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeelcom.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel
//UIManager.setLookAndFeel("smoothmetal.SmoothLookAndFeel");
/**UIManager.setLookAndFeel(newSubstanceLookAndFeel());
UIManager.put("swing.boldMetal",false);
if(System.getProperty("substancelaf.useDecorations") == null) {
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
JDialog.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
}
System.setProperty("sun.awt.noerasebackground","true");
SubstanceLookAndFeel.setCurrentTheme(neworg.jvnet.substance.theme.SubstanceBarbyPinkTheme());//设置当前的主题风格,同样我 们还可以设置当前的按钮形状,水印风格等等
*/
} catch (Exception ex) {
java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(LoginFrame.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE,null, ex);
}
5、EaSynthLookAndFeel
javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.easynth.lookandfeel.EaSynthLookAndFeel");
