lotsa LAFs

anyway…

Accessing the remote file on OSX, the client displays the default OSX LAF (as per prefs). Accessing on Windows, the LAF is Metal, not the default.

'Sup?

Client always respects the default LAF of the OS (except on Mac - where you can choose to “push” the LAF via the Server Admin). If you change the LAF in the client (once) - it will keep that LAF until you change it back.

Does this mean that- on this machine- the LAF would have been set to Metal… and that “respects the default LAF of the OS” means repects the LAF preference of the user, and not the default for the OS, out of the box?

Thanks,

Jim

The default LAF is the OS’s default: it’s set to “Default”.

Default =

“Windows” on Windows
“OSX” on OS X.

Then why does it happen that the solution in question shows up to Mac clients with the default MAC OS Default LAF, and and shows up to Windows clients with the Metal LAF (until they manually change it to Windows OS Default LAF)?

Just trying to find out where default is in this (heh heh)…

Hello,

I am trying to find some more documentation on forcing LAF’s. My boss runs OSX but prefers the kunststof LAF everyone esle in the office is running XP and I just want to be able to force the LAF to everybody for two reasons.

  1. Kunststof does not render well on either type of machine ie unviewable buttons and such.

  2. We are launcing the client from our website and don’t want to have to tell every user how to change their preferences.

So I have to keep the style I am using because the boss likes it but I also need it to work upfront on any given machine.

can servoy handle this?
