Color up, Scherbatsky

Posted by kirillcool on April 16, 2006 at 01:21 PM | Comments (2)

Substance LAF has turned one year old during a ten-hour flight over the Atlantic (on April 14) and celebrated this joyous event by providing even more color themes than before. The Aqua default theme is of no surprise



And along with it comes a variety of bright themes such as Bottle Green and Sunset



cold themes for subdued look such as Olive and Steel Blue



and dark themes (much reworked for the upcoming release 2.3 code-named Firenze) such as Ebony and Dark Violet



The upcoming release 2.3 features inverted themes (available for all base bright and cold themes) such as Inverted Aqua and Inverted Sunset



as well as mixed themes such as Bottle Green & Lime Green and Brown & Sun Glare



The latest additions are tinted (shifted towards white), toned (shifted towards gray) and shaded (shifted towards black) color themes. Illustrated below are the original (Aqua) color theme, 40% tinted, 40% toned and 40% shaded versions of the same theme:



All of the above plus the theme pack with additional twenty one base themes brings the potential of tens of thousands of original color themes to the Java desktop applications. See the complete theme documentation for more information and run the WebStart test application to experience the color themes in action.

  • Very nice! I really like the mixed themes, giving applications something special. Substance is a very active project and it is well documented, making it much easier to implement. Thanks! Stephan
