Description Søren Caspersen 2002-07-23 12:22:23 UTC 
When displaying a node hierachi using 
org/openide/explorer/view/ListView the font is wrong when 
using a Look & Feel different that NB's default.

Proposed fix:

  setFont(UIManager.getFont("List.font"));

inserted at line 301 of 
org/openide/explorer/view/NodeRenderer.java
Comment 1 Jiri Rechtacek 2002-07-23 17:21:49 UTC 
Hi,
thank you for proposal. I tried change NodeRenderer by proposal but
the nodes in ExecutionWindow (based on ListView) were not visible.  I
set L&F on motif in jdk1.3.1 on Gnome/Linux. Have you seen something
like this too? Could you add the screenshots with layout before and
after your fix. I try play with it more. Thanks for feedback.

Hi Jiri,

I've attached screenshots before and after the fix. 

The problem is the bold font in the ListView of the 
Execution window and the ListView "Porteføljer:". The 
problem seems limited to Metal-based LookAndFeels, Windows 
and Motif LookAndFeels work fine. I suspect this is 
because of the bold labels in Metal.

I've tested Motif but I can't reproduce your problem 
(JDK1.3.1, Win2K)?

Comment 4 Jiri Rechtacek 2002-07-31 15:32:39 UTC 
Hi Søren,
the bolds fonts in ListView (based on JList) are derived from Metal
l&f. ListView should be consistent with JList so I won't fix it.
I hope for understanding,

Comment 5 Søren Caspersen 2002-07-31 20:22:43 UTC 
Hej Jiri,

But that was my point:-) ListView does NOT conform with 
JList. JList with Metal l&f use plain font, while ListView 
in Metal use bold font.

Try to fire the IDE up with "-ui 
javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel". ListViews then 
have bold fonts which does not conform with Metal JList.

Hi,
I tried add a JList in JFrame outside IDE with
javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel and the font in JList was
bold. I assumed it was excepted. I used Sun's jdk1.4.1.
Look on attached example.

Comment 8 Søren Caspersen 2002-08-02 13:16:29 UTC 
Hi Jiri,

I tried your example on JDK1.3.1 and the font is plain. I 
also tested it on SDK1.4.0_01 where the font was bold. I 
was not aware that they changed the l&f in 1.4. (I liked 
1.3.1 better, JTreeView and JList view should have the 
same font don't you think :-)

But this is the problem exactly. ListView does not not 
pick up on l&f settings. Your rendere use JLable and in 
1.4 you are lucky that JLable and JList use the same font 
(color etc.). You may not be this lucky with other l&f 
which Metal in 1.3.1 is a perfect example of.
