UnifiedToolBar buttons

[gurjeet]

Hi,

I am trying to create a UnifiedToolBar with buttons which look
'correct'. I am trying:

JButton prefButton = new JButton("Preferences");
prefButton.setIcon(new ImageIcon(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage
("NSImage://NSPreferencesGeneral")));
prefButton = (JButton) MacButtonFactory.makeUnifiedToolBarButton
(prefButton);

toolBar.addComponentToCenter(prefButton);

Should this work as is or am I missing something ?

It looks like it should work... what platform are you running on? It will only work on a Mac.

I am running this on a mac. Why will it only work on a mac ? (due to
the NSImages ?)

If the NSImage is the reason, then I can always replace it with a
static png. If not, what is the reason for it only working on a mac ?

The problem with this approach is that once in every 4 tries, the
'button bar' has a different color than the 'title bar'. Is this
expected ?

The call to Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("NSImage://NSPreferencesGeneral")) will only work on a Mac as it's pulling in native Mac images.

Could you send a screen shot of the issue you're seeing? Are you creating your UI on the EDT?

Okay, I had planned on replacing the NSImage call anyway, so that's
not a problem.

About the GUI, I am creating the UI on the EDT. A screenshot is at :

I should note that if I switch to another window and switch back,
everything looks normal again.

What version of Java are you using?

[gurjeet]

This is on Mac OS X 10.5.7

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_13"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03-211)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.3-b02-83, mixed mode)

Just for reference, I'm running same set of software and I get the
same visual artefact occasionally. The color remains in its unfocused
state even when the application has the focus.

Try this: Remove all other components and re-add them and their layout
contraints step-by-step. Using BorderLayout?

Could someone create an issue for this? I may still be relying on a client property that isn't technically supported ("frame.active" or something like that).

Thanks,

Wait, I'm wrong. It still on focus.

It seems the issue happen if the the window is not on focus. So there should be modification on the paint code.
