Method Detail

isAllowLinuxTransparency

public static boolean isAllowLinuxTransparency()

Returns whether per-pixel transparent windows usage is allowed on Linux systems or not.

Returns:

true if per-pixel transparent windows usage is allowed on Linux systems, false otherwise

setAllowLinuxTransparency

public static void setAllowLinuxTransparency(boolean allow)

Sets whether per-pixel transparent windows usage is allowed on Linux systems or not. This might be an unstable feature so it is disabled by default. Use it at your own risk.

Parameters:

allow - whether per-pixel transparent windows usage is allowed on Linux systems or not

setupUIDefaults

public static void setupUIDefaults(javax.swing.UIDefaults table)

Installs some proprietary L&F defaults for proper text rendering. Basically this method is a workaround for this simple call: table.put ( sun.swing.SwingUtilities2.AA_TEXT_PROPERTY_KEY, sun.swing.SwingUtilities2.AATextInfo.getAATextInfo ( true ) ); but it doesn't directly use any proprietary API.

Parameters:

table - defaults table

isWindowTransparencyAllowed

public static boolean isWindowTransparencyAllowed()

Returns whether window transparency is allowed globally or not. Whether or not it is allowed depends on the settings and current OS type.

Returns:

true if window transparency is allowed globally, false otherwise

setWindowTransparencyAllowed

public static void setWindowTransparencyAllowed(boolean allowed)

Sets whether window transparency is allowed globally or not.

Parameters:

allowed - whether window transparency is allowed globally or not

isWindowShapeAllowed

public static boolean isWindowShapeAllowed()

Returns whether window shape is allowed globally or not. Whether or not it is allowed depends on the settings and current OS type.

Returns:

true if window shape is allowed globally, false otherwise

setWindowShapeAllowed

public static void setWindowShapeAllowed(boolean allowed)

Sets whether window shape is allowed globally or not.

Parameters:

allowed - whether window shape is allowed globally or not

setWindowOpaque

public static void setWindowOpaque(java.awt.Window window,
                                   boolean opaque)

Sets window opaque if that option is supported by the underlying system.

Parameters:

window - window to process

opaque - whether should make window opaque or not

isWindowOpaque

public static boolean isWindowOpaque(java.awt.Window window)

Returns whether window is opaque or not.

Parameters:

window - window to process

Returns:

whether window background is opaque or not

setWindowOpacity

public static void setWindowOpacity(java.awt.Window window,
                                    float opacity)

Sets window opacity if that option is supported by the underlying system.

Parameters:

window - window to process

opacity - new window opacity

getWindowOpacity

public static float getWindowOpacity(java.awt.Window window)

Returns window opacity.

Parameters:

window - window to process

Returns:

window opacity

setWindowShape

public static void setWindowShape(java.awt.Window window,
                                  java.awt.Shape shape)

Sets window shape if that option is supported by the underlying system.

Parameters:

window - window to process

shape - new window shape

getWindowShape

public static java.awt.Shape getWindowShape(java.awt.Window window)

Returns window shape.

Parameters:

window - window to process

Returns:

window shape
