Swing Themes Library

Tutorial

• Import SwingThemesLibrary in your project as a dependency (see Releases for .jar file)

Themes

• Create a theme

  Theme theme = new Theme(); //And insert each color by hand
  
  //or
  
  Theme theme_json = new Theme(new JsonString(your_json_string);
  
  //or
  
  Theme theme_yaml = new Theme(new YamlFile(full_file_directory]);
  

• Parse Yaml file

  Theme theme = new Theme();
    
  theme.parseYaml(new YamlFile(full_file_directory);
  

• Parse Json

  Theme theme = new Theme();
    
  theme.parseJson(new JsonString(your_json_string);
  

• Generate Yaml from Theme

  YamlFile yaml = existing_theme.generateYaml(target_directory); //Creates .yml file in [targer directory]
  

• Generate Json from Theme

  JsonString json = existing_theme.generateJson();
  

ThemeCollection

• Create a ThemeCollection

  ThemeCollection themes = new ThemeCollection(); // No other constructor exists
  

• Add a theme

  themes.add(new Theme());
  

• Load themes

  themes.load(new File(folder_path)); // Folder containing .yml files with wanted themes
    
  //or
    
  themes.load(new String[]{[strings with theme information]});
  

• Apply Theme on a container

  JFrame frame = new JFrame();
  Theme theme = new Theme(); //non empty theme
  ThemeCollection.applyTheme(frame, theme);
  

Set your JComponent’s name following the notation of the sample_theme.yml. This will determine the color of each component.
