JavaFX native skins – source code available

February 22, 2013 – 7:56 am

Hi,

 

I recently published my source code of “native looking skins for MacOS X 10.8 and Windows 7″. It’s all experimental and not complete.

iPhone app with JavaFX 2: NavigationBar & ListView demo

April 17, 2012 – 5:17 pm

Today I made a short demo showing an animated iPhone NavigationBar with a back button and a ListView control. The animation consists of a ParallelTransition including two TranslateTransitions. The ListView and the back button is styled with pure CSS. For the back button is used a svg path shape (-fx-shape)

 

 

Best regards,

Tobi

Native looking skins for JavaFX 2 on Windows 7 & Mac OS X 10.7

April 15, 2012 – 12:16 pm

JavaFX 2 is a great technology. It’s so easy to develop beautiful apps with FXML and CSS. But unforunatly – in contrast to Swing – there is no support for the native look and feel for Windows, Mac and Linux. So if you write a JavaFX 2 app it looks like a JavaFX 2 app. But many user – especially Mac users – want to have Mac OS X apps which look and feel like Mac OS X apps.

So in my opinion it’s very important to deliver JavaFX 2 skins for Windows 7 and Mac OS X 10.7 which look and feel like their native original. Oracle’s goal was to replace Swing by FX2. So in my opinion it’s absolutely necessary to provide the same quality of Look-and-Feels for Windows, Mac and Linux like Swing do! Otherwise JavaFX2 is no real replacement for Swing. Unfortunatly at the moment Oracle has no plans to support this :( (http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-20299)

I recently started a project to develop native looking skins by CSS. Take a look at my demo application which shows JavaSwing LNF on Mac OS X 10.8 on the left side, and my skin CSS file for JavaFX 2 on the right side.

Developing iPhone apps with JavaFX 2

April 15, 2012 – 11:15 am

Currently JavaFX 2 does not support iOS platform. But we all believe in Oracle developing a solution to bundle Java & JavaFX 2 within an iOS app…

So I started writing a CSS skin for iPhone. Take  look at my first demo.
