Change Log

New features and improvements

• macOS: Re-enabled rounded popup border (see PR #772) on macOS 14.4+ (was disabled in 3.5.x).
• Increased contrast of text for better readability: (PR #972; issue #762)
  • In FlatLaf Dark, FlatLaf Darcula and many dark IntelliJ themes, made all text colors brighter.
  • In FlatLaf Light, FlatLaf IntelliJ and many light IntelliJ themes, made disabled text colors slightly darker.
  • In FlatLaf macOS Light, made disabled text colors darker.
  • In FlatLaf macOS Dark, made text colors of "default" button and selected ToggleButton lighter.
• CheckBox: Support styling indeterminate state of tri-state check boxes. (PR #936; issue #919)
• List: Support for alternate row highlighting. (PR #939)
• Tree: Support for alternate row highlighting. (PR #903)
• Tree: Support wide cell renderer. (issue #922)
• ScrollBar: Use rounded thumb also on Windows (as on macOS and Linux) and made
  thumb slightly darker/lighter. (issue #918)
• Extras: FlatSVGIcon color filters now can access painting component to
  implement component state based color mappings. (issue #906)
• Linux:
  • Rounded iconify/maximize/close buttons if using FlatLaf window decorations. (PR #971)
  • Added libflatlaf-linux-arm64.so for Linux on ARM64. (issue #899)
  • Use X11 window manager events to resize window, if FlatLaf window
    decorations are enabled. This gives FlatLaf windows a more "native" feeling. (issue #866)
• IntelliJ Themes:
  • Updated to latest versions and fixed various issues.
  • Support customizing through properties files. (issue #824)
• SwingX: Support JXTipOfTheDay component. (issue #980)
• Support key prefixes for Linux desktop environments (e.g. [gnome], [kde]
  or [xfce]) in properties files. (issue #974)
• Support custom key prefixes (e.g. [win10] or [test]) in properties files. (issue #649)
• Support multi-prefixed keys (e.g. [dark][gnome]TitlePane.buttonBackground).
  The value is only used if all prefixes match current platform/theme.
• Support new component border color to indicate success state (set client
  property JComponent.outline to success). (PR #982, issue #945)
• Fonts: Updated Inter to v4.1.

Fixed bugs

• Button: Fixed background and foreground colors for borderless and
  toolBarButton style default buttons (JButton.isDefaultButton() is true). (issue #947)
• FileChooser: Improved performance when navigating to large directories with
  thousands of files. (issue #953)
• PopupFactory: Fixed NPE on Windows 10 when owner is null. (issue #952)
• Popup: On Windows 10, drop shadow of heavy-weight popup was not updated if
  popup moved/resized. (issue #942)
• FlatLaf window decorations:
  • Minimize and maximize icons were not shown for custom scale factors less
    than 100% (e.g. -Dflatlaf.uiScale=75%). (issue #951)
  • Linux: Fixed occasional maximizing of window when single-clicking the
    window's title bar. (issue #637)
• Styling: MigLayout visual padding was not updated after applying style to
  Button, ComboBox, Spinner, TextField (and subclasses) and ToggleButton. (issue #965)
• Linux: Popups (menus and combobox lists) were not hidden when window is moved,
  resized, maximized, restored, iconified or switched to another window. (issue #962)
• Fixed loading FlatLaf UI delegate classes when using FlatLaf in special
  application where multiple class loaders are involved. E.g. in Eclipse plugin
  or in LibreOffice extension. (issues #955 and #851)
• HTML: Fixed rendering of <hr noshade> in dark themes. (issue #932)
• TextComponents: selectAllOnFocusPolicy related changes:
  • No longer select all text if selection (or caret position) was changed by
    application and selectAllOnFocusPolicy is once (the default). (issue #983)
  • FormattedTextField and Spinner: selectAllOnFocusPolicy = once behaves now
    as always (was never before), which means that all text is selected when
    component gains focus. This is because of special behavior of
    JFormattedTextField that did not allow implementation of once.
  • Client property JTextField.selectAllOnFocusPolicy now also works on
    (editable) JComboBox and on JSpinner.
  • Added client property JTextField.selectAllOnMouseClick to override UI
    property TextComponent.selectAllOnMouseClick. (issue #961)
  • For selectAllOnMouseClick = true, clicking with the mouse into the text
    field, to focus it, now always selects all text, even if selectAllOnFocusPolicy is once.

Incompatibilities

• IntelliJ Themes:
  • Theme prefix in IntelliJTheme$ThemeLaf.properties changed from [theme-name] to {theme-name}.
  • Renamed classes in package com.formdev.flatlaf.intellijthemes.materialthemeuilite from Flat<theme> to FlatMT<theme>.
  • Removed Gruvbox Dark Medium and Gruvbox Dark Soft themes.
• Prefixed keys in properties files (e.g. [dark]Button.background or
  [win]Button.arc) are now handled earlier than before. In previous versions,
  prefixed keys always had higher priority than unprefixed keys and did always
  overwrite unprefixed keys. Now prefixed keys are handled in same order as
  unprefixed keys, which means that if a key is prefixed and unprefixed (e.g.
  [win]Button.arc and Button.arc), the one which is last specified in
  properties file is used.
  Following worked in previous versions, but now Button.arc is always 6:

  [win]Button.arc = 12
  Button.arc = 6

  This works in new (and old) versions:

  Button.arc = 6
  [win]Button.arc = 12
