#1619 — 3rd party Swing Themes

  To: comp.lang.java.gui
Hello,

Just wondering, are there any 3rd party Swing themes available?  I'd
like to try some different appearances than the built in look and feel
and changing a color (http://www.codeproject.com/java/theme.asp).  Our
project doesn't have the time in the schedule to mess around with the
look and feel much; so I'm wondering what else is out there.

Thanks!

Yes.  For custom PLAF's, I prefer something elegant, quick 
and (end) usable, like JGoodies <http://www.jgoodies.com/>.
See this thread for a run-down of some other alternatives.
<http://www.javakb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/java-gui/6848/SynthLookAndFeel>

As an aside, searching for 'plaf' would be a lot more productive 
(when searching for Java themes) than, for example, the much 
more generic - 'theme'.

The JGoodies Looks library that Andrew mentioned contains
the Plastic L&f family that in turn contains a bunch of
Metal Themes. If you don't want a new L&f, but just some
themes, feel free to extract, use and redistribute them;
the library is BSD licensed.

If you want to test drive the Plastic themes, start the
JGoodies Looks Demo.

Also, in the PlasticLookAndFeel class, there's code that
aims to find a theme that works well with the current
desktop colors.

You can look at some of these themes I have implemented using Karsten's 
  themes..
