Hi all,
I just submitted a change that locates and loads themes dynamically using the
provider system we just built for charts. The code that loads a service
provider has been refactored into a new pivot.util.Service class. This class
has a single method, getProvider(), that locates and loads a provider class for
a given service name. Both charts and themes now use this.
As a result, themes can now be swapped in and out with no configuration
changes. However, since themes are now loaded dynamically, the default
constructor, and therefore the default color scheme, is used. To change the
color scheme, you can now do this:
TerraTheme terraTheme = (TerraTheme)Theme.getTheme();
URL schemeLocation =
TerraTheme.class.getResource("TerraTheme_default.json");
terraTheme.loadScheme(schemeLocation);
Be sure to do this before instantiating any components, though, or you'll get
the wrong colors.
This change should make themes a little bit easier to use. Please let me know
if you have any questions or comments.
Greg
