    When Joxy is applied to FreeRapid, the menus are not properly cleaned up after they are closed. Also the fonts ends up looking bad, but I guess it's caused by the previous problem.

    Steps to reproduce

    • edit .FRD/frd.xml and change lookAndFeel to joxy.JoxyLookAndFeel
    • start FreeRapid
    • open a few of the menus (File, Downloads...)

    This also happens in Matlab it seems. I am really curious what is the cause of it.

    I opened a bug report for this issue here: [tickets:#15].

    Excuse me for the much too late response, I saw your message here and thought I replied to it, but apparently I didn't.

      It is fixed now (see the bug report), thank you for reporting this!

    Got Joxy working on Kubuntu 12.10 and JRE 6. Primarily wanted to get BlueJ working as my school requires it for several of the beginning java courses. BlueJ has its own config file /usr/share/bluej/bluej.defs about half way down there is a section for "BlueJ Look and Feel" I added the line:

    bluej.lookAndFeel=joxy.JoxyLookAndFeel

    and the started BlueJ up and it looks great with Joxy! Some buttons on the main window are still metal but overall much better. Next I need to figure out SweetHome 3D and GeoGebra.

      Hi J.Jordan!

      Great to hear that! I just installed BlueJ 3.0.8 from the site and did the same you did and indeed, it looks good. Which buttons are not good, according to you? When I started the program, it looked fine to me, but maybe if you really use it, some buttons appear that are not styled yet? Could you maybe provide a screenshot or instructions on what to do to see Metal buttons?

      Thank you very much and hopefully, SweetHome 3D and GeoGebra will work just as good :-)

        For SweetHome 3D you will have to use -Dswing.systemlaf=joxy.JoxyLookAndFeel (instead of defaultlaf), then it works well with Joxy's latest Git version. I remember the released version, Joxy 0.1.0, suffered from a repaint issue with SweetHome 3D.

        And thank you for using Joxy!
