Flamingo 3.0 official release
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:
- Layer for defining and using resizable icons
- Command button component
- Command button panel component
- File viewer panel component
- Breadcrumb bar component
- Ribbon component
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:
