[ jEdit-users ] Can't change appearance

[David A. <Dav...@EM...>]

Hi

Running jEdit 4.4.1.

Since upgrading from Win 7 Prof 32-bit to Win 7 Prof 64-bit, jEdit's appearance appears to be stuck as 'Metal'.  I cannot change it to 'Windows'.

Has anyone come across this problem please?

Best regards

David

Hi David,

maybe this IRC excerpt can help you.

<haole> hello there... i've just installed jedit 4.4 on windows 7 and i
can't change the look and feel! i change it and when i restart the
software, the settings sets back to Metal... what could be wrong?
<@Vampire0> Welcome haole
<@Vampire0> Hmm, sounds strange
<@Vampire0> Are there any error messages in the activity log?
<haole> Vampire0: don't know where it is... lemme look for it
<haole> i've installed jedit in many other machines and never had this
problem
<haole> no errors in activity.log, apparently
<haole> it looks like the WindowsLookAndFeel is not in my classpath
<haole> do you know where it is located in the 1.6 jdk?
<haole> can't seem to google it :(
<@Vampire0> The Windows LAF should be part of Java itself, so I don't
think this could be :-/
<@Vampire0> And neither activity.log shows an error? Not the one before
restart nor the one after restart?
<@Vampire0> An restart the activity.log is started afresh and the old
one is in the settings-backup folder
<haole> Vampire0: i found an error in activity.log complaining about not
finding WindowsLookAndFeel
<haole> sorry... forgot to mention before my last msg
<@Vampire0> hm
<haole> my activity.log for a single session where i try to change the
lookandfeel: http://pastebin.com/Av3yGEiG
<@Vampire0> what is the message exactly, including stacktrace if available?
<@Vampire0> And what show the first couple of lines in activity.log?
<@Vampire0> Hm, really strange
<@Vampire0> Did you try reinstalling Java?
<@Vampire0> This really shouldn't happen
<haole> Vampire0: gonna try to reinstall... might be something messed up
with this machine
<@Vampire0> hm, strange
<@Vampire0> actually the wrong class is searched :-/
<@Vampire0> javax.swing.plaf.metal.WindowsLookAndFeel is not correct
<@Vampire0> it should be com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel
<@Vampire0> If you invoke "Utilities -> BeanShell -> Evaluate BeanShell
Expression..." and enter 'jEdit.getProperty("lookAndFeel")', what does
it tell you?
<@Vampire0> haole?
<@Vampire0> And also in the same dialog:
<@Vampire0> result = ""; for (lafInfo :
UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels()) { result += lafInfo.getClassName()
+ '\n'; } return result;
<haole> Vampire0: sorry, i was away a little
<haole> lemme test it
<haole> i started jedit to test your statement and it worked with the
windowslookandfeel!!
<haole> i think i had an instance of java running that was missing things up
<haole> bizarre
<haole> i closed the java processes and now it works (?)
<@Vampire0> btw. haole, you don't need to kill the Java process, if you
invoke "File -> Exit" aka C+q, then jEdit is closed completely
<@Vampire0> If you just click the the X button in the upper right
corner, only the current View is closed, even if it is the last one in
case of server-mode
<@Vampire0> then jEdit keeps running in the background to be immediately
available if you want to reuse it
<@Vampire0> You can also use the "Quit jEdit Server" entry in the
Startmenu to quit a jEdit instance, even if it is running without an
open view currently

Vampire

[ jEdit-users ] Nimbus LaF big buttons

[Patrik P. <pat...@gm...>]

Hi,

I asked this on #jedit already but maybe I'm more successfull here:

> hi, any idea how to make those buttons in jedit/nimbus lookNFeel smaller ? 
> see: http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=4615

All those buttons in the left,botton and right Dock are very broad/high, this occurs in WinXP, Win7 and Linux.
And it gets really annoying on my 10" notebook where every pixel counts.

Better and more fancy LaFs like Substance are too demanding for the notebook.

thx 
 Patrik

Hi,

You may find some useful info here:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/lookandfeel/custom.html
But in general, you can switch to Metal and get smaller buttons. You can
also install MyDoggyPlugin and switch to its docking framework, where the
dockable user interface is also more compact.

[Vampire <Va...@jE...>]

Hi,

you could also have waited a bit longer in IRC. ;-)
I've seen your question, but you were gone already.
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100588&aid=1898263&group_id=588
also reports this issue.
Unfortunately I cannot tell you more currently, but you might want to
monitor that artifact.

Maybe the same issue the other guy had. For him it was also magically
fixed after he really restarted jEdit and not only closed the last
view and reopened it. :-)

Re: [ jEdit-users ] Can't change appearance

[David A. <Dav...@EM...>]

Hi Vampire,

So the vital information is what you wrote here:

" if you invoke "File -> Exit" aka C+q, then jEdit is closed completely.  If you just click the X button in the upper right corner, only the current View is closed, even if it is the last one in case of server-mode then jEdit keeps running in the background to be immediately available if you want to reuse it".

That probably accounts for what I saw - I always click the X button in the upper right corner.

Does this mean, that we could shrink the size of all these dockable buttons by 
setting a property in a property file or with a few lines in startup script?

Robert

Re: [ jEdit-users ] Nimbus LaF big buttons

[Shlomy R. <sre...@gm...>]

Not sure about it. What I understand from this guide is that the properties
are set per component. It may be possible to write a small beanshell script
that will recurse into the GUI hierarchy and set the properties on all
components, but it may not be so simple (since the GUI changes, components
are added and removed). Also, for the dockable buttons, I am not sure it
will help since there is a custom layout in jEdit for them.

For some reason I recall that more than a year I found some documents
telling me how to set the sizes globally in Nimbus, but I could not find
them any longer.

Anyway, I also recall have found several other problems with Nimbus in the
past that made me abandon it. Hopefully these will be fixed in Java 7...

Re: [ jEdit-users ] Can't change appearance

[Matthieu C. <cho...@gm...>]

Yes,
jEdit updates it's UI only when launching jEdit. Theorically it is
possible to do it at anytime in java but there is a bug with
Buffertabs that makes jEdit crash if that plugin is installed and we
update the look & feel.

Re: [ jEdit-users ] Can't change appearance

[Alan E. <ala...@gm...>]

On windows, you can have jedit "running" without a main window, and without
any indication to the user that jEdit is running. That is a bug.
I reported it a looooong time ago:
