Provides fixes and enhancements for Apple's implementation of the Aqua Look and Feel. See comments of the LookAndFeel classes for detailed descriptions.

To activate the QuaquaLookAndFeel for a Java Application it is recommended to use the following code snippet:

javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel(
  ch.randelshofer.quaqua.QuaquaManager.getLookAndFeelClassName()
);

For a Java applet, use the following code snippet please:

javax.swing.UIManager.put("ClassLoader", getClass().getClassLoader());
javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel(
  ch.randelshofer.quaqua.QuaquaManager.getLookAndFeel()
);

The Quaqua Look and Feel can be customized using system properties and client properties. For details see the description of class QuaquaManager. @see ch.randelshofer.quaqua.QuaquaManager

Native libraries

Quaqua uses JNI to do function calls to Mac OS X Carbon. Make sure that the file libquaqua.jnilib is in the library path of your application. If this file is missing, or could not be loaded due to security restrictions, Quaqua will work with a reduced set of functionality.

Java for Cocoa is used to do function calls to Mac OS X Cocoa. Make sure that /System/Library/Java is in the class path of your application. If this file is missing, or could not be loaded due to security restrictions, Quaqua will work with a reduced set of functionality.
