Synthetica BlueLight Highlights(10:34, 11. Mar. 2013)
The Swing Look and Feel Synthetica V2.17 comes along with a new theme called Synthetica BlueLight Look and Feel. Below you'll find a short summary of the highlights.
Window Shape and Background Texture - The BlueLight theme provides a rounded rectangle shape for windows with background texture and a nice gradient fill.
Text Shadow Effects - As you can see in the screenshot below a subtle text shadow effect is used for some components.
Animation for Default Buttons - A glow animation effect appears for the default button.
Button Glow on Hover - Another nice glow effect appears when the mouse is moved over a button. The foreground color appears inversed on hover.
Special Shape for Toplevel PopupMenus - For toplevel popup menus a special shape with a triangle for the selected menu entry is used.
Fade-In Animation and Shadow Effect for Popups - Popups (even ComboBox popups) appear with a fade-in effect and a shadow effect around the popup.
Focus Aware CellRenderer - In BlueLight all default renderers are focus aware.
