Synthetica 2.6.0 Look and Feel

URL: JAVASOFT Software Engineering

the Synthetica Look and Feel for Swing project is pleased to announce the release of version 2.6.0.

Synthetica is based on Synth, which is part of version 1.5 of the Java2 Platform, Standard Edition. It provides components with rounded borders, shadowed popup menus, nice icons and a new, fresh look. Moreover, it enables developers to modify existing LAF/Themes, or to create their own LAF only by editing a XML based configuration file. Developers don't have to write complex Java-GUI-Code, but can integrate their own code.

Synthetica comes along with an extended FileChooser to support file operations like cut, copy, delete with multithreaded capabilities. All file-views are sortable. Once Synthetica is the active LAF, the JFileChooser component supports all the above features.

New features:
* Audio support
* Improved file chooser
* Improved windows feel
* ToolBar handle support
* Support for displaying sortable table arrows (Java 6)
* JDialog#setIconImage support for Java 6
* Added support for the "OptionPane.buttonPadding" UI-property
* New clientProperty "Synthetica.titlePane.enabled" can be used to disable the titlePanel of a window
* Colorizing support for JSeparators through clientProperty "Synthetica.background"
* New UI-Manager properties for component UI-tweaking when used in tables
* New component client property to keep opacity of JTabbedPane child components
* All themes has been updated, some of them has been shrinked
