JFormDesigner/FlatLaf 1.2

Users of version 1.1.x are recommended to update to 1.2 because this release
fixes some minor issues with native window decorations.

Change log

New features and improvements

• Renamed Flat*Laf.install() methods to Flat*Laf.setup() to avoid confusion
  with UIManager.installLookAndFeel(LookAndFeelInfo info). The old
  Flat*Laf.install() methods are still there, but marked as deprecated. They
  will be removed in a future version.
• Button and ToggleButton: Support borderless button style (set client property
  JButton.buttonType to borderless). (PR #276)
• ComboBox: Support using as cell renderer (e.g. in JTable).
• DesktopPane: Improved layout of iconified internal frames in dock:
  • Always placed at bottom-left in desktop pane.
  • Newly iconified frames are added to the right side of the dock.
  • If frame is deiconified, dock is compacted (icons move to the left).
  • If dock is wider than desktop width, additional rows are used.
  • If desktop pane is resized, layout of dock is updated.
• TableHeader: Moved table header column border painting from
  FlatTableHeaderUI to new border FlatTableHeaderBorder to improve
  compatibility with custom table header implementations. (issue #228)
• Linux: Enable text anti-aliasing if no Gnome or KDE Desktop properties are
  available. (issue #218)
• IntelliJ Themes: Added "Material Theme UI Lite / GitHub Dark" theme.
• JIDE Common Layer: Improved support for JideTabbedPane. (PR #306)
• Extras: FlatSVGIcon improvements:
  • Each icon can now have its own color filter. (PR #303)
  • Use mapper function in color filter to dynamically map colors. (PR #303)
  • Color filter supports light and dark themes.
  • Getters for icon name, classloader, etc.
• Extras: UI Inspector: Show class hierarchies when pressing Alt key
  and prettified class names (dimmed package name).
• Extras: FlatSVGUtils.createWindowIconImages() now returns a single
  multi-resolution image that creates requested image sizes on demand from SVG
  (only on Windows with Java 9+).

Fixed bugs

• CheckBox and RadioButton: Do not fill background if used as cell renderer,
  except if cell is selected or has different background color. (issue #311)
• DesktopPane:
  • Fixed missing preview of iconified internal frames in dock when using a
    custom desktop manager. (PR #294)
  • Fixed incomplete preview of iconified internal frames in dock when switching LaF.
  • On HiDPI screens, use high-resolution images for preview of iconified
    internal frames in dock.
• PopupFactory: Fixed occasional NullPointerException in FlatPopupFactory.fixToolTipLocation(). (issue #305)
• Tree: Fill cell background if DefaultTreeCellRenderer.setBackgroundNonSelectionColor(Color) was used. (issue #322)
• IntelliJ Themes: Fixed background colors of DesktopPane and DesktopIcon in all themes.
• Native window decorations:
  • Fixed slow application startup under particular conditions. (e.g. incomplete custom JRE) (issue #319)
  • Fixed occasional double window title bar when creating many frames or dialogs. (issue #315)
  • Fixed broken maximizing window (under special conditions) when restoring frame state at startup.
  • Title icon: For multi-resolution images now use getResolutionVariant(width, height)
    (instead of getResolutionVariants()) to allow creation of requested size on demand.
    This also avoids creation of all resolution variants.
  • Double-click at upper-left corner of maximized frame did not close window. (issue #326)
• Linux: Fixed/improved detection of user font settings. (issue #309)
