Quaqua Look and Feel

Changes

Version 7.4.2

Fixes

JButton

• Issue 135: Fixes alignment issues with GroupLayout and borderless JButtons. Icons are now treated as part of the visual bounds of a button.
• Issue 127: Fixes a layout bug when adding JButtons to a JPanel. Borderless JButtons and JButtons with custom borders can now be made smaller than the minimal button width.
• JButton ignored the client property JComponent.sizeVariant=small, if the font was not also set to a size smaller than 12.

JComboBox

• Issue 131: Fixes Z-order issues for JComboBox popups when one of the ancestor windows has alwaysOnTop set to true. Popups appear now on top of the window.

JFileChooser

• Issue 134: Fixes a NullPointer in the SidebarSelectionListener, when the user clicks on an item in the sidebar which has been removed from the file system.
• Issue 131: Hard crashes caused by unstable QuickLook plugins can now be prevented by setting the system property -DQuaqua.FileChooser.quickLookEnabled=false

JOptionPane

• Issue 133: Adds additional text translations in French, German, Italian and Swedish.

JTabbedPane

• JTabbedPane.indexAtLocation(x,y) now properly reports the tab index when all tabs are collapsed into a single JComboBox.

Fixes

JComboBox

• Quaqua tries now harder to fit the entire popup window of the combo box into the available screen area, instead of cropping it at the bounds of the screen.

• Issue 126: The QuaquaPopupFactory is not installed anymore if the Popup UI is excluded.

General

• Fixes a fatal NullPointerException which sometimes occured after setting the QuaquaLookAndFeel in the UIManager.

BinaryPListParser

• BinaryPListParser can now parse dates.

General

• Quaqua can now load its JNI-libs when running on OpenJDK 7.

Fixes

Version 7.3.4
2010-12-28

Fixes

Version 7.3.3
2010-11-07

Fixes

J2SE5 compatibility

• Fixes J2SE5 incompatibility caused by the LayoutStyle fix made in Quaqua 7.3.2. To work on J2SE5 the Quaqua look and feel must now be retrieved from QuaquaManager or the class name "ch.randelshofer.quaqua.QuaquaLookAndFeel15" must be used.

JTable

• Fixes focus behavior of JCheckBox editors in a JTable.
• Fixes flickering when selecting a JCheckBox in a JTable which currently is not focused.
• Fixes the size variant of JCheckBox editors in JTable.
• Selection color (InactivatiableColorUIResource) extends now UIResource.

Version 7.3.2
2010-11-04

Fixes

JBrowser

• BasicBrowserUI attempts now to load the "Browser.sizeHandleIcon" from the UIManager before falling back to loading the icon directly.

JRadioButton

• Fixes issue 107. On mouse clicks, radio buttons request focus before notifying listeners, so that listeners can request focus for a desired component. On keyboard actions, radio buttons request focus after notifying listeners, so that focus stays on the radio buttons regardless of focus requests performed by the listeners.

JRootPane

• JRootPane is now opaque and uses the same background color as a JPanel.

LayoutStyle

• Fixes issue 121: StackOverflowException when requesting LayoutStyle from QuaquaLookAndFeel.

Version 7.3.1
2010-09-20

Fixes

JFileChooser

• JPanel had the wrong background color on textured windows when running Quaqua on Mac OS X 10.5.
• Tooltips:

• Quaqua-FileChooserOnly-L&F: On Mac OS X 10.5, the Leopard File Chooser is now used.

Fixes

• JBrowser: Horizontal scrollable block increment to the right moves the the view to the left by one column. In prior versions, the view was moved by multiple columns to the left, and sometimes it was not moved at all.

• JBrowser: Added support for resizable columns contributed by 'fedr'.
• ComboBoxUI: Implemented Leopard-design gradient for selection background color.
• FileChooserUI does now fall back to javax.swing.FileSystemView rather than falling back to package private FileView objects of Apple's Aqua L&F. Added missing translations for 'devices' and 'places' in sidebar. Fixed issue #48 (race condition in the file chooser tree model).
• Files: Added more native methods to Files class.
• MenuUI: Draw menu selection with blue gradient for Leopard design.
• ToolBarUI: Paint toolbar on drag window.

Version 4.4.7
2008-07-16

 

Fixes

• TableUI: Fixed row and column selection using Meta-Key in Java 1.4 and J2SE5. Not fixed for J2SE6! For J2SE6 a system property "Quaqua.Table.useJ2SE5MouseHandler" can be set to "true", to use the fix for J2SE5 on J2SE6. This breaks drag and drop functionality and sorting functionality on J2SE6 though.
• LeopardFileChooserUI - Issue #48: Fixed a race condition in AliasFileSystemTreeModel, and fixed a problem in SidebarTreeModel which caused the sidebar to fail, when the /Volumes folder contained items which weren't directories.

Fixes:

• PantherFileChooserUI: Ignore clicks in the sidebar on files which are not traversable.
• LeopardFileChooserUI: Ignore clicks in the sidebar on files which are not traversable. Rewrote sidebar view updates from the AliasFileSystemTreeModel.
• TreeUI: Fixed repaint on selection changes. Fixed an updating issue with the leadSelectionPath property in JTree.
• JNI native library: The library is now versioned, so that version mismatches between Quaqua.jar and the library can be detected. The library is now loaded lazily.

• LookAndFeel: Quaqua now overrides the UIManager property "ClassLoader".

• QuaquaTreeUI: Support multiple selection by mouse dragging. By default, the invokesStopCellEditing property of a JTree is set to true.
• BasicQuaquaLookAndFeel: Look and feel decorated title bar did not render properly.
• RootPaneUI: Only snap to the edge of another window, if the window is within close distance. Don't snap, if the use holds the alt key down, while dragging a window.
• QuaquaTextFieldUI, QuaquaPasswordFieldUI, QuaquaFormattedTextFieldUI: Transferring the focus to one of these components using the Tabulator key automatically selects all text on the component.

Version 3.9.1
2007-07-31

 

Fixes

• QuaquaComboBoxUI: Removed debugging output. UIManager property "ComboBox.harmonizePreferredHeight" had no effect.

Version 3.9
2007-07-30

 

Enhancements

• JBrowser: Added support for KeyListener to API. This allows to listen for key events which occur on the currently focused column.
• ComboBoxUI: Added UIManager property "ComboBox.harmonizePreferredHeight". Setting this to true causes editable and non-editable combo boxes to have the same preferred height, resulting in better layouts with some layout managers.
• TextFieldUI: Added client property "Quaqua.TextField.style" with the values "plain" and "search". Set this property to "search" to get a text field with rounded corners like the Spotlight search field.
• RootPaneUI: Added UIManager property "RootPane.windowSnapDistance". Setting this to an Integer value greater than 0 causes windows to snap to the edges of each other and to the screen bounds. This property is only in effect for look and feel decorated windows.
• LayoutStyle: Added support for Java 1.6 javax.swing.LayoutStyle API.

Fixes

• FileChooserUI: File chooser ran into an inconsistent state, when the JFileChooser was constructed with a different directory than the users home directory.
• MenuUI: Listeners were not properly installed, due to this, accelerators did not work always.
• OptionPaneUI: The application icon was not scaled properly, when Quaqua ran without native code.
• RootPaneUI: Resize icon wasn't drawn for look and feel decorated JDialog windows; Look and feel decorated windows couldn't always be dragged from a secondary screen to the main screen.
• TextFieldUI, FormattedTextFieldUI, PasswordFieldUI: Added two pixels to preferred width.
• All text component UI's:Fixed input map for backspace key (replaced "typed \010" by "BACK_SPACE").
• quaqua-filechooser-only.jar, quaqua-menu-only.jar, quaqua-colorchooser-only.jar: Added missing QuaquaLookAndFeel class.

Version 3.8.1
2007-06-18

 

Fixes

• QuaquaFileChooserUI: Aliases in the sidebar were resolved with user interaction before the user clicked on them, causing remote volumes to be mounted too early.
• QuaquaColorChooserUI: The color picker threw an exception when it was moved to a secondary screen. The color picker now degrades its functionality when it is moved on a secondary screen.
• QuaquaOptionPaneUI: The OK button sometimes had no text.

Version 3.8
2007-05-26

 

Enhancements

 

• Experimental Swedish resource file added. The resource file is mostly in English, only some texts for the JFileChooser and the JOption pane have been translated into Swedish.

Fixes

• QuaquaFileChooserUI: Aliases were resolved with user interaction before the user clicked on them, causing remote volumes to be mounted too early. Aliases to folders didn't behave like regular folders.
• QuaquaFileChooserUI PreviewPane: File icons render now properly, when Quartz is turned off. The file kind is now retrieved from the Finder.
• QuaquaIconFactory: The application icon is now rendered properly, when Quartz is turned off.
• Quaqua14RootPaneUI: Repaints 200 milliseconds after a resize to workaround 'double striking' of components. If someone nows how to actually fix this problem - let me know!

• FileChooserUI: Double clicking the file preview approves now the current selection.

Fixes

• Removed unnecessary console output.

 

Version 3.7.4
2007-02-24

 

Enhancements

• ColorChooserUI: The text in the text fields is now selected, when the text fields gain focus.
• ButtonUI: The UIManager property Button.defaultButtonFollowsFocus is now supported on all J2SE versions (not just in J2SE 5 and later versions). The default value for this property is false.

Fixes

• ColorChooserUI: Due to rounding errors, some colors, such as RGB 0,170,0 were changed to other values when the color chooser was opened; The text fields were too short for J2SE 1.3; The text fields in the HTMLChooser were updated with integer values instead of with Hex values.
• OptionPaneUI: Sometimes, when creating the icons for a JOptionPane the following was output on the console, and the application froze: "Please Attach Debugger: No Autorelease pool exists. Press any key to continue…".

Version 3.7.3
2007-02-17

 

Enhancements

• OptionPaneUI: The UIManager property "OptionPane.messageLabelWidth" can be set to 0, to prevent Quaqua from enforcing the width of HTML messages displayed in option panes. The UIManager property "OptionPane.maxCharacterPerLineCount" has now been added, it can be used to use a smaller value than returned by JOptionPane.getMaxCharacterPerLineCount().

 

Fixes

• ComboBoxUI: Combo box editor had the wrong background color.

• TableUI: Did only repaint the lead selection cell instead of all selected cells when focus changed.
• Text components: Added client property Quaqua.TextComponent.showPopup that allows to disable the popup menu created by the Quaqua look and feel.
• When run with Java 5 or higher, opaqueness is changed using LookAndFeel.installProperty instead of setting it directly.
• Fixed RequestFocusEnabled for some components.
• JSheet sometimes couldn't get focus.

Version 3.7

Version 3.6.3
2006-03-28

 

Fixes

Version 3.6.2
2006-03-15

 

Fixes

• FileChooserUI: Couldn't save to a new file.
• ColorChooserUI: Color picker threw a null pointer exception when used.

Version 3.6.1
2006-03-12

 

Enhancements

• ToolBarUI: Uses now a mini sized title pane.

Fixes

• JSheet showed with white background when running with Java 1.4.2_05 on Mac OS X 10.3.5. To avoid this, JSheet is shown without a translucent background.

• ColorChooserUI: Does not write to System.out anymore, if user enters non-numeric text into color value fields.
• QuaquaUtilities.repaintBorder does not throw an NPE anymore in method repaintBorder, if the component has no parent.
• BrowserUI: Tweaked disclosure icons
• ScrollBarUI: Tweaked vertical topmost position of thumb. Small separated scroll bar buttons were not drawn with the correct state.
• QuaquaBorderFactory: Due to a bug, the factory never created CachedImageBevelBorder's.

Enhancements

• Panther design: JFileChooser's renders color labels. This feature requires the presence of libquaqua.jnilib in the library path.
• Panther design: JFileChooser's show a preview column for files, when used as an open dialog. This feature is localized for English, German, French and Italian only. The preview column is not shown for other languages.

2004-12-05

Enhancements

• Improved keyboard behaviour of JTextField, JTextArea and JComboBox. Cursor up moves to the beginning of the text if the cursor is on the first line.

Version 2.4
2004-11-05

Enhancements

Version 2.1
2004-10-17

Enhancements

• The FileChooserUI's resolve now aliases to files and directories.

• Fixed a bug which caused some JComponents on a java.awt.Window to always draw in inactive state.
• The popup of the ComboBoxUI extends its width to accomodate the widest item in the list.

Version 1.8
2004-06-26

Enhancements

• TableUI with support for striped style added.
• Jaguar design for TabbedPaneUI can be switched off.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed bugs in FileChooserUI.

Version 1.7
2004-05-02

Enhancements

• QuaquaComboBoxUI added.

Bug Fixes

• FileChooserUI creates folders now at the correct location.
• MenuUI has now corrected popup offsets.
• When running Java 1.4 or higher, QuaquaComboBoxUI and QuaquaTabbedPaneUI render in click-through state, when their parent Window is not focus owner.

Version 1.6 - 1.6.2
2004-03-14 through 2004-03-30

Enhancements

• File names are displayed in gray, when the JFileChooser is in FILE_SAVE mode.
• System property 'Quaqua.FileChooser.autovalidate' added.
• When clicking on a file on a JFileChooser in FILE_SAVE mode, the file name is now transferred into the filename text field. Thus the JFileChooser behaves now like a native file dialog for Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther). The look of the JFileChooser is still the one of Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar).

Bug Fixes

• Reimplemented the update strategy for the FileSystemTreeModel. A directory is now updated only when the user clicks at it. Prior to this version, the whole path up to a file was refreshed frequently. This resulted in an unacceptable amount of I/O operations for directories located on remote computers.
• Class OSXFileView catches NullPointerException's thrown by AquaFileView, when trying to determine isTraversable on aliases if the the alias is to a network volume that is no longer mounted.
• Fixed an IndexedOutOfBoundsException which occured when a 'default' file name was supplied to a JFileChooser in FILE_SAVE mode, and the user aborted the JFileChooser.
• OSXFileView throws a NullPointerException when method getName(File) is called with a null argument. This prevents the JVM from crashing in native code in the AquaFileView.
• Reduced the size of quaqua.jar. Some image files in quaqua.jar were unnecessarily big. The classes are now compiled without debugging information.

Versions 1.5 - 1.5.1
2004-02-07 through 2004-02-15

Enhancements

• Support for Java 1.4.2 added.
• Improved the performance of the FileSystemTreeModel and the OSXFileView. This significantly reduces the slugginess of the QuaquaFileChooserUI.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a sporadicaly occuring null pointer exception in the QuaquaFileChooserUI.
• Fixed more sporadicaly occuring null pointer exceptions in the QuaquaFileChooserUI which were caused by class JBrowser using method JComponent.getLocationOnScreen() to determine the mouse location.

Version 1.4
2003-11-13

Enhancements

• Support for tabbed panes with tabs on the left and on the right added.
• Symbols for menu accelerators using cursor keys added.
• Pressing the enter or return key in the file name text field of QuaquaFileChooserUI triggers the accept action.

Version 1.3
2003-10-29

Enhancements

• Support for Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) added.

Versions 1.1 - 1.2.2
2003-09-11 through 2003-10-09

Enhancements

• Look and Feel with specific workarounds for Apple's Java 1.4.1 Update 1 added.
• FileChooserUI with column view added.

Bug Fixes

• JBrowser expands path on mouse down instead of on mouse up. This provides a snappier user esperience for the FileChooserUI.
• Diagnostic Output to System.out removed.
• Menu fixes need to be switched off when useScreenMenuBar option is set, because Apple's Aqua LAF casts MenuItemUI to AquaMenuItemUI.

Version 1.0
2003-09-05

• First release
