Comments on: Substance 4.3 official release http://www.pushing-pixels.org/?p=293 Leaving no pixel behind Thu, 09 Sep 2010 18:02:18 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Gili http://www.pushing-pixels.org/?p=293&cpage=1#comment-1446 Gili Sun, 11 May 2008 23:19:33 +0000 http://www.pushing-pixels.org/?p=293#comment-1446 I think the mouse-hover animation looks very nice if you move slowly from one component to another, but it is awful if you're moving quickly across multiple components. In the latter case the animation is distracting... maybe even choppy. Please take a look and try making the animation more robust for both use-cases.

Then, just a tiny visual inconsistency in the Flamingo Ribbon screenshot : The "File" menu, is too close from the separator : maybe you should add 2 pixels to the gap, to match the general text layout. Once again, really great job. Hello,

I know that JIDE has quite a few big customers, and some of their products are specifically targeting complex architectures. I think that you would be better asking on their forums. Also, note that Flamingo does not aim too high - it just fills the currently void gap in the components that it provides. There should be no issues with non-component based libraries such as JFreeChart, and Substance provides APIs to query the current color settings to be used to create consistent graphs, charts and other application specific visuals. And if there are any Substance-specific issues, i will be more than happy to hear about them in the project forums, mailing lists, issue tracker or a private e-mail. Thanks for considering Substance for your project. Kirill Nikita,

Any recommendation on frameworks like JIDE we can use? I've used JIDE 3-4 years ago and it was just an 'ok' experience. I looked at Flamingo but it lacks some of the window managment feature we would like to have. Any recommendations? Also, we are planing on using JFreeChart and JGrpath. Any known issues with these frameworks (I mean the basic usage of them w/your L&F)? Thanks, Nikita Ivanov. GridGain Systems. Kiril,

There were a few JIDE-related issues in the past, and those have been fixed. If you run into an exception, i will be happy to fix it. Note that some JIDE components might not be consistently skinned by Substance, as i don't provide custom UI delegates for the JIDE components (yet). Thanks Kirill Nikita,

Are there any known compatibility issues with JIDE and your L&F. Great work, btw. Love the dark skins. Best, Nikita Ivanov. Kiril,
