Basic UI elements.

Post by Kevin » Wed Mar 02, 2011 4:16 pm

I would like to alter the theme of basic components removing most of the "chrome". A example would be Microsoft Metro theme or the example URL listed below. I am aware I can create my own controls the problem is I want all the basic control to utilize the theme is this even possible? Can I register my own theme with RR?

no you can't directly skin objects. you can use premade images to replace full buttons in their entirety. But then you can't resize them, so it's one size fits all.

You can switch between very ugly pre-made themes by utilising the lookAndFeel property. there's also a menu entry for that in the "view" menu.
