Customize Synthetica Look and Feel with a single xml file
Hello,
I saw in Synthetica FAQ (www .javasoft.de/jsf/public/products/synthetica/faq#q3) there is a simple way to customize themes : Quote:
I put this in various directories without results. I tried to create an environment variable "CLASSPATH" (with path of directory containing the xml file) but nothing happened. Has someone an idea ? I just want to change the selected text background color of Synthetica Black Eye Theme: Last edited by PotatoesMaster; 26.10.2009 at 18:37. |

@lightwave3d
I've edited the xml file in the jar archive. It works fine but JDownloader want to update the jar to undo my work. :-( @Jiaz It seems I've some problems creating a new theme : Last edited by PotatoesMaster; 31.10.2009 at 16:36. |

What classpath does JDownloader use ?
Is there a way to add the directory "libs\laf\" (containing Synthetica jar files) to the classpath ? This way, we just need to put a file called "SyntheticaBlackEyeLookAndFeel.xml" (or something else) in this directory to customize the theme. |

thats all i found on syntehtica customization. i think the best is to create a new jar file (eg synthjd.jar) and then put your customizations in it (like described in the link i gave you)

I followed the instructions as described at javalobby.org.
The theme I obtain doesn't work (I can't locate my mistake). Could you instead say me what does JDownloader's classpath contain ? There is no problem if you can't: I won't spend your time any more. Last edited by PotatoesMaster; 02.11.2009 at 03:30. |

i just found out we have to add support for them. at the moment only the already available files are loaded. you can try to delete one and replace it with your own and do not let jd update it again. once you have a working customized laf , we can/will add support for it. would be great to know how that works

filename.noupdate in same folder or simply dont let update it. as i said, we can add support for it once you have a working customized laf

Stoping the Modified Theme "update" (regression)
Quote:
http://board.jdownloader.org/showpos...34&postcount=2 I would love if you guys added an option to NOT update automatically (overwriting the modification) at least some of the Synthetica themes (or maybe only Black Eye), if possible, until the next MAJOR version or the solution for some of the worst problems associated with this particular Style. To be more clear: there's a configuration that stops JD from replacing custom icons in my "<JDownloader Folder>\jd\img\hosterlogos\" folder, and I would like for the same to happen with the .jar theme files on "<JDownloader Folder>\libs\laf\", if possible. |
