#4011 — UIDefaults

  To: comp.lang.java.gui
Hi,

Where I can find the key names of the UIDefaults hashtable?
Some examples use keys like "Label.background", is there a
comprehensive list?

Thank you
Andre

The list of UIDefaults keys depends on the L&f used,
and so there's no globally valid list. Years ago, Sun
tried to find/setup the set of UIDefaults keys required
or shared by all L&fs; but AFAIK that never happened.

For a long time the list of UIDefaults supported by
the Sun default L&fs was at least a guideline. With
more and more [third party] L&fs coming up, the key sets
vary more than ever before. For example the new default
L&f Nimbus introduces new keys but doesn't support older
ones.

As long as there's no minimal UIDefaults key specified,
you can rely only on the set given for a specific L&f
(in a specific version).

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your information. I have found the sources of Desktop 
Java Live, they contain a nice little viewer for all keys of the 
available L&Fs.

It isn't possible to see all keys, because some L&fs use optional keys
that may show up or not. Also, it is interesting to know about the
mandatory and optional client property keys that are required/supported
by an L&f. These are often only documented, and as the UIDefaults keys
cannot be looked up in general.
