Flamingo 3.0 official release

February 19th, 2008 | 5 Comments »

It gives me great pleasure to announce the official release for version 3.0 of Flamingo component suite (code-named Deirdre). The goal of this project is to provide a small and cohesive set of powerful UI components that allow creating modern applications that provide visual functionality similar to or superseding that of Vista Explorer and Office 2007. The components provide consistent visuals under the existing core and third-party look-and-feels, respect the DPI settings of the user desktop and follow the core Swing guidelines in the external APIs and the internal implementation details.The component suite includes:

The project is licensed under BSD license and requires JDK 6.0. You can see the demo applications here. The binary and source bits are available here. A few screenshots of some of the Flamingo components:

File-selector breadcrumb bar and file viewer panel with medium command buttons:

Ribbon under Windows XP look-and-feel with resizable SVG-based icons:

Ribbon under Synthetica Mauve Metallic look-and-feel:

SVN-selector breadcrumb bar and file viewer with tile command buttons and SVG based icons:

Command button with a command button panel embedded in a popup panel:

    Congratulations on the release! I really don’t understand where you find the time to be so consistently productive! Does your work give you time to develop your open source projects, or do you do them all on your own time as a hobby?

    Great looking stuff!

    I’m still wondering about the Ribbon, if in general terms is a good idea, but at least I’m glad you provide the option of using it in Java!
