Package org.apache.jorphan.gui

Class JFactory

java.lang.Object
org.apache.jorphan.gui.JFactory
@API(since="5.3", status=EXPERIMENTAL) public class JFactory extends Object
Enables to apply styles that persist across look and feel updates.

The class provides APIs to configure Swing components so the look is consistent, and it updates the components when Look and Feel changes

Swing API provides no standard components and colors for: small, big components; warning, error styles for labels; and so on

Note: by default JTable comes with fixed rowHeight which does not work when the fonts are scaled. So you need to call singleLineRowHeight(JTable) or configure rowHeight manually

      input component (for fluent APIs)

    • error
