Before the fix, a JComboBox in Nimbus L&F would have normal black text even when the JComboBox was disabled if SynthComboBoxRenderer was replaced with a DefaultListCellRenderer. This text should be greyed out like in other L&F's. When looking into the defaults for Nimbus L&F files for attributes and states of a JComboBox, it confirm that the intention for disabled JComboBoxes is nimbusDisabledText (which is grey text).
SynthComboBoxes have an additional check in its default SynthComboBoxRenderer that enables/disables the renderer itself. The SynthComboBoxRenderer inherits its enabled state from the parent ComboBox. Since the renderer with DefaultListCellRenderer is in a separate class without a reference to the comboBox, a listener was added to SynthComboBoxUI. An additional issue occurred in DefaultListCellRenderer because the renderer overrode the listener's re-assigned enabled state. In testing, setting the enabled state in DefaultListCellRenderer is redundant for all L&F's and is not needed here. However, instead of removing it altogether, a conditional was added specifically to allow ComboBoxes to skip setting enabled state here. After the fix, the Nimbus JComboBox with DLCR set matches the appearance of a normal Nimbus JComboBox. I can enable/disable the JComboBoxes in the test, and the UI elements behave and appear as expected. ------------- Commit messages: - Add listener & conditional for setEnabled in DLCR.
