A concrete implementation of MetalTheme providing
the original look of the Java Look and Feel, code-named "Steel". Refer
to MetalLookAndFeel.setCurrentTheme(javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalTheme) for details on changing
the default theme.

All colors returned by DefaultMetalTheme are completely
opaque.

Font Style

DefaultMetalTheme uses bold fonts for many controls.  To make all
controls (with the exception of the internal frame title bars and
client decorated frame title bars) use plain fonts you can do either of
the following:

Set the system property swing.boldMetal to
    false.  For example,
    java -Dswing.boldMetal=false MyApp.
Set the defaults property swing.boldMetal to
    Boolean.FALSE.  For example:
    UIManager.put("swing.boldMetal", Boolean.FALSE);

The defaults property swing.boldMetal, if set,
takes precedence over the system property of the same name. After
setting this defaults property you need to re-install
MetalLookAndFeel, as well as update the UI
of any previously created widgets. Otherwise the results are undefined.
The following illustrates how to do this:


  // turn off bold fonts
  UIManager.put("swing.boldMetal", Boolean.FALSE);

  // re-install the Metal Look and Feel
  UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new MetalLookAndFeel());

  // Update the ComponentUIs for all Components. This
  // needs to be invoked for all windows.
  SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(rootComponent);

either an Icon or null,
where null implies that there is no default icon.

Class that manages a JLF title bar

Metal implementation of JInternalFrame.

A Windows L&F implementation of LabelUI.  This implementation
is completely static, i.e. there's only one UIView implementation
that's shared by all JLabel objects.

The Java Look and Feel, otherwise known as Metal.

Each of the ComponentUIs provided by MetalLookAndFeel derives its behavior from the defaults
table. Unless otherwise noted each of the ComponentUI
implementations in this package document the set of defaults they
use. Unless otherwise noted the defaults are installed at the time
installUI is invoked, and follow the recommendations
outlined in LookAndFeel for installing defaults.

MetalLookAndFeel derives it's color palette and fonts from
MetalTheme. The default theme is OceanTheme. The theme
can be changed using the setCurrentTheme method, refer to it
for details on changing the theme. Prior to 1.5 the default
theme was DefaultMetalTheme. The system property
"swing.metalTheme" can be set to "steel" to indicate
the default should be DefaultMetalTheme.

Provides the metal look and feel implementation of RootPaneUI.

MetalRootPaneUI provides support for the
windowDecorationStyle property of JRootPane.
MetalRootPaneUI does this by way of installing a custom
LayoutManager, a private Component to render
the appropriate widgets, and a private Border. The
LayoutManager is always installed, regardless of the value of
the windowDecorationStyle property, but the
Border and Component are only installed/added if
the windowDecorationStyle is other than
JRootPane.NONE.

MetalTheme provides the color palette and fonts used by
the Java Look and Feel.

MetalTheme is abstract, see DefaultMetalTheme and
OceanTheme for concrete implementations.

MetalLookAndFeel maintains the current theme that the
the ComponentUI implementations for metal use. Refer to
MetalLookAndFeel.setCurrentTheme(MetalTheme) for details on changing
the current theme.

MetalTheme provides a number of public methods for getting
colors. These methods are implemented in terms of a
handful of protected abstract methods. A subclass need only override
the protected abstract methods (getPrimary1,
getPrimary2, getPrimary3, getSecondary1,
getSecondary2, and getSecondary3); although a subclass
may override the other public methods for more control over the set of
colors that are used.

Concrete implementations of MetalTheme must return non-null
values from all methods. While the behavior of returning null is
not specified, returning null will result in incorrect behavior.

It is strongly recommended that subclasses return completely opaque colors.
To do otherwise may result in rendering problems, such as visual garbage.

Horizontal
A horizontal line is drawn dividing the children of the root node.


 None
 Do not draw any visual indication between nodes.

The metal look and feel implementation of TreeUI.

MetalTreeUI allows for configuring how to
visually render the spacing and delineation between nodes. The following
hints are supported:



   Angled
   A line is drawn connecting the child to the parent. For handling
         of the root node refer to
         JTree.setRootVisible(boolean) and
         JTree.setShowsRootHandles(boolean).



    Horizontal
    A horizontal line is drawn dividing the children of the root node.


     None
     Do not draw any visual indication between nodes.




As it is typically impractical to obtain the TreeUI from
the JTree and cast to an instance of MetalTreeUI
you enable this property via the client property
JTree.lineStyle. For example, to switch to
Horizontal style you would do:
tree.putClientProperty("JTree.lineStyle", "Horizontal");

The default is Angled.

The default theme for the MetalLookAndFeel.

The designers
of the Metal Look and Feel strive to keep the default look up to
date, possibly through the use of new themes in the future.
Therefore, developers should only use this class directly when they
wish to customize the "Ocean" look, or force it to be the current
theme, regardless of future updates.


All colors returned by OceanTheme are completely
opaque.
