Anyone familiar with SkinLF ?

Classic Servoy
1

I want to try to use SkinLF as Look & Feel and use a specific theme.
I’ve found the SkinLF on the web using http://www.javootoo.com .
I selected the SkinLF because of the several themes:

http://www.l2fprod.com/javootoo.com/plaf/skinlf/index.php

I have found the skinLF version 6.7 d.d. 20060722 and I put the skinLF.jar file in my lafs directory

Next I selected one of the themes and I imported the zip file like described in the manual (chapter 9.3 Users guide 3.5)

But I don’t see the theme in the preferences and also when I select the ‘Skin’ Look and Feel, I don’t see the LAF that I want.

Is there anyone familiar with this? Perhaps there is something to know before this LAF will work wihin Servoy

I see an old posting about LnF

In that property file I see settings like these:

com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.LAF.0.className=javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.LAF.0.name=Metal
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.LAF.1.className=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.LAF.1.name=CDE/Motif
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.LAF.2.className=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.LAF.2.name=Windows
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.LAF.3.className=com.incors.plaf.kunststoff.KunststoffLookAndFeel
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.LAF.3.name=KunststoffLookAndFeel
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.LAF.4.className=com.l2fprod.gui.plaf.skin.SkinLookAndFeel
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.LAF.4.name=SkinLookAndFeel
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.LAF.5.className=com.l2fprod.gui.plaf.skin.LinuxLookAndFeel
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.LAF.5.name=LinuxLookAndFeel
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.LAFCount=6
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.Theme.0.className=com.incors.plaf.kunststoff.KunststoffTheme
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.Theme.0.name=KunststoffTheme
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.Theme.1.className=com.incors.plaf.kunststoff.themes.KunststoffPresentationTheme
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.Theme.1.name=KunststoffPresentationTheme
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.Theme.2.className=com.incors.plaf.kunststoff.themes.KunststoffDesktopTheme
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.Theme.2.name=KunststoffDesktopTheme
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.Theme.3.className=com.incors.plaf.kunststoff.themes.KunststoffNotebookTheme
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.Theme.3.name=KunststoffNotebookTheme
com.servoy.j2db.LAFManager.ThemeCount=4

Shouldn’t I have these settings in my propertyfile?

Is there really nobody using skinLF with a specific L&F?

I’m not using skinlf, however I think that you can use a theme if you rename the theme zip to themepack.zip and you add it on the skinlf.jar root.

Unfortunately I don’t think the theme selector will work…

Thanks this works, … but not always.

I noticed that Servoy doesn’t write always the

selectedlnf=com.l2fprod.gui.plaf.skin.SkinLookAndFeel

entry in the property file.
That is perhaps one of the reasons why it didn’t work. Each time when I restarted Servoy I saw my previous L&F.

Now I’ve installed the 6.7 version of skinLF with one of the themes from the http://javootoo.l2fprod.com/plaf/skinlf/index.php site.

Thanks for for reply
