public class ColorType extends Object
Each SynthStyle has a set of ColorTypes that
are accessed by way of the
SynthStyle.getColor(SynthContext, ColorType) method.
SynthStyle's installDefaults will install
the FOREGROUND color
as the foreground of
the Component, and the BACKGROUND color to the background of
the component (assuming that you have not explicitly specified a
foreground and background color). Some components
support more color based properties, for
example JList has the property
selectionForeground which will be mapped to
FOREGROUND with a component state of
SynthConstants.SELECTED.
The following example shows a custom SynthStyle that returns
a red Color for the DISABLED state, otherwise a black color.
class MyStyle extends SynthStyle {
private Color disabledColor = new ColorUIResource(Color.RED);
private Color color = new ColorUIResource(Color.BLACK);
protected Color getColorForState(SynthContext context, ColorType type){
if (context.getComponentState() == SynthConstants.DISABLED) {
return disabledColor;
}
return color;
}
}
