JTabbedPane and DecorationAreaType

[Matt234]

I have an application that display a banner just under the title bar (a la JXLogginPanel). Right below the banner is a JTabbedPane. To make it all look good, I use:

SubstanceLookAndFeel.setDecorationType(bannerPanel, DecorationAreaType.HEADER);

on the banner panel. However, I would also like the tab row of the JTabbedPabe to be painted with the HEADER style, like the flamingo ribbon component (the contents of the JTabbedPane should have 'null' as its decoration type). Is it possible? I tried quite a few things but none of them seems to be working...

Hi,

I've added an experimental SubstanceLookAndFeel.setDecorationType that gets an additional boolean parameter. If the value is false, only the component itself will be marked with the specified decoration type. Its children will continue being under either the default decoration type, or the decoration type specified under the closest ancestor that propagates its decoration type.

Note that the initial implementation has a slight visual noise on the content border of the tabbed pane - this should be addressed in the next few days. Also, using this method under Business Black Steel will result in white-on-white tab text color on selected tabs. I need to think this through, and it might still well be that this experimental API will be removed before the version is officially released - if it contributes too much to the code complexity or anything at all to the performance.

Thanks
Kirill

Thanks for your answer, I'm going to try it. However, while working with setDecorationType, I noticed that you can't remove the decoration type for some children once a parent has been modified because the internal function loops through parents to find a style. Now, the "experimental" setDecorationType with the boolean parameter might help, but wouldn't it be easier to add a NULL or NONE value to the DecorationAreaType enum? GENERAL doesn't work because it's not rendered the same way as null, but you can't do setDecorationType(comp, null) because the decoration type of the parent will be used.

BTW, Subtance rocks! I love it! :)

Hi,

The NONE value is already part of the DecorationAreaType enum.

Thanks

Hi,

The new experimental API to not propagate the decoration area type to container children now provides much better visuals when applied to tabbed panes. You can see an example of using it (and the resulting screenshot) at [1]. As i already mentioned, the value NONE is already part of DecorationAreaType enum, and you can use that as well to force default color scheme on each one of the children of tabbed pane (in your example).

Thanks
Kirill
