Using substancelaf.configFile properly

[Legéndi Richárd]

Hi guys!

Sorry for being so lame, but I cannot figure out what am I doing wrong.
I've modified the sample application to make it use the settings from a
prop file instead of setting the -Dxxx flags.

Well, I guess I totally miss out the point, because it's not working as
I expected :-)

I just want to set the button sharper to the Standard one, but it still
uses the Classic one.
Although, I'm sure the config file is parsed correctly, because if I set
the substancelaf.enableInvertedThemes flag, I can access them from the
menu...

So, any hints about what I'm doing wrong? I'm playing with this for
hours now, but haven't found any solution :-)

Sincerely,
Richard

The config file I'm using:   (walkthrough.conf)
------------------------
substancelaf.buttonShaper=org.jvnet.substance.button.StandardButtonShaper
#substancelaf.enableInvertedThemes


The modified source:
---------------------
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JCheckBox;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.UIManager;

import org.jvnet.substance.button.StandardButtonShaper;
import org.jvnet.substance.skin.SubstanceRavenLookAndFeel;

public class Walkthrough extends JFrame {
    public Walkthrough() {
        super("Sample app");
        this.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        this.add(new JButton("button"));
        this.add(new JCheckBox("check"));
        this.add(new JLabel("label"));

        this.setSize(new Dimension(250, 80));
        this.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
        System.setProperty("substancelaf.configFile", "walkthrough.conf");
       
        try {
         
UIManager.setLookAndFeel("org.jvnet.substance.skin.SubstanceRavenGraphiteLookAndFeel");
          // It's working this way:
          //SubstanceRavenLookAndFeel.setCurrentButtonShaper( new
StandardButtonShaper() );
        } catch (Exception e) {
          System.out.println("Substance Raven Graphite failed to
initialize");
        }
       
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
          public void run() {
            Walkthrough w = new Walkthrough();
            w.setVisible(true);
          }
        });
    }
}

Hi,

On the face of it, the configuration looks correct. You can put a breakpoint in PropertiesFileParamReader (in org.jvnet.substance.utils.params package) and its getButtonShaperProperty() method to see if the properties file has been correctly found and parsed.

Note that version 5.0 removes support for pretty much all VM parameterss specified in [1] and [2]. User code is encouraged to move to use custom skins to specify custom UI appearance.

Thanks
Kirill

Hi,

The old VM flags should still work under 4.3 and earlier. This is why i have asked you to debug that method and see if the location of the config file is specified correctly.

Thanks
Kirill
