Release candidates for Trident, Flamingo and Substance

July 22nd, 2010 | 3 Comments »

I’ve just published the release candidates for the following projects:

Flamingo 5.0 release candidate contains:

  • New scroller panel component
  • New color selector popup
  • Full right-to-left (RTL) support
  • Toggle menu buttons
  • Dock icon for ribbon frame on Mac
  • Dynamic resize of ribbon components

Substance 6.1 release candidate contains:

  • Platform specific keyboard shortcuts
  • New Mariner skin
  • New Office Black 2007 skin
  • Better visual integration in Substance Flamingo plugin for ribbon under all core Substance skins

Trident 1.3 is mainly maintenance release with a few minor API additions to the repaint timelines. Flamingo uses Trident for some of the animations, and you will need to add the latest Trident jar to the classpath. If you’re running your Flamingo-based application under Substance, add the latest Substance Flamingo plugin jar to the classpath for consistent visual appearance and animation effects.

The final releases for all the projects are scheduled for August 9. Only bugs will be fixed until that date.

    Congratulations! Kirill and salute your attempts to keep Java swing alive.
    I am trying to use substance l&f for one of our dull business applications with too many internal scrollable areas (Such as tables, lists etc) in a JFrame. What I found is that scrollbar widith in Substance appears a bit bigger than required. This may be due to the sharp border line and highlight on scrollbar thumb(slider) – Have you got previous requests regarding scrollbar widths? This impairs visual feel especially when there are multiple scrollable area on a JFrame and packed on s a smaller window size.

    Ranjith,

    This is better discussed at the project forums / mailing lists where you can attach screenshots illustrating this issue.

    Thanks, Kirill
