Re: [Xui-interest] [ 1660901 ] Docking: Request application control of Header painter (RE: Xui-interest Digest, Vol 8, Issue 1)

[Luan O'C. <lu...@xo...>]

It's done. I hadn't noticed the RFE till I got your message :-(

I added a static method XDockableHeader.setUseGradientHeaders to control 
use of the gradients in the headers. However the header was also 
ignoring the background color passed in the color array and that is 
fixed. The way the gradients are painted has also been modified. So you 
may want to try the gradients again before switching them off. I'm just 
about to commit the code.

I have an 'alternate' session for JavaOne, so it is not guaranteed, but 
we will have a stand in the pavilion in any case. The presentation is 
about Swing Vector Graphics.
