Swing components borders renderded incorrectly. This one is a known jvm bug and is fixed with java 1.6. Following facts have been gathered from the links below. These links compare the java/swing's performance on gtk. The comparison is between java 1.5 and 1.6.
1. JDK 1.5 has problems with GNOME themes. JDK 1.6 fixes that. This is the reason why come UI components (Buttons etc) are rendered incorrectly. 2. JDK 1.5 supports a only few theme engines. Maybe only bluecurve 3. As a solution - the borders for the incorrectly rendered components would have to be drawn forcefully, in which case the fix would have to be hard coded for "GTK" and "1.5" and would be an improper fix. And it would still NOT make the components look like the native components. 4. Suse doesn't seem to support bluecurve theme http://www.ensode.net/java_swing_mustang_screenshots_gtk.html http://www.ffnn.nl/pages/articles/java/java-2-se-6.0-aesthetics-preview. php http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/swing/1.4/Post1.4.html#gtk http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2004/02/27/laf.html _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
