  (issue #933; regression in 3.5.3)

3.5.3

Change Log

Fixed bugs

• HTML: Fixed wrong rendering if HTML text contains <style> tag with
  attributes (e.g. <style type='text/css'>). (issue #905; regression in 3.5.1)
• FlatLaf window decorations:
  • Windows: Fixed possible deadlock with TabbedPane in window title area in
    "full window content" mode. (issue #909)
  • Windows: Fixed wrong layout in maximized frame after changing screen scale
    factor. (issue #904)
  • Linux: Fixed continuous cursor toggling between resize and standard cursor
    when resizing window. (issue #907)
  • Fixed sometimes broken window moving with SplitPane in window title area in
    "full window content" mode. (issue #926)

• Popup: Fixed NPE if GraphicsConfiguration is null on Windows. (issue #921)
• Theme Editor: Fixed using color picker on secondary screen.
• Fixed detection of Windows 11 if custom exe launcher does not specify Windows 10+
  compatibility in application manifest. (issue #916)
• Linux: Fixed slightly different font size (or letter width) used to paint HTML
  text when default font family is Cantarell (e.g. on Fedora). (issue #912)

Other Changes

• Class FlatPropertiesLaf now supports FlatLaf macOS themes as base themes.

3.5.2

Change Log

Fixed bugs

• Windows: Fixed repaint issues (ghosting) on some systems (probably depending
  on graphics card/driver). This is done by setting Java system property
  sun.java2d.d3d.onscreen to false (but only if sun.java2d.d3d.onscreen,
  sun.java2d.d3d and sun.java2d.noddraw are not yet set), which disables
  usage of Windows Direct3D (DirectX) onscreen surfaces. Component rendering
  still uses Direct3D. (issue #887)
• FlatLaf window decorations:
  • Iconify/maximize/close buttons did not fill whole title bar height, if some
    custom component in menu bar increases title bar height. (issue #897)
  • Windows: Fixed possible application freeze when using custom component that
    overrides Component.contains(int x, int y) and invokes
    SwingUtilities.convertPoint() (or similar) from the overridden method.
    (issue #878)
• TextComponents: Fixed too fast scrolling in multi-line text components when
  using touchpads (e.g. on macOS). (issue #892)
• ToolBar: Fixed endless loop if button in Toolbar has focus and is made
  invisible. (issue #884)

Other Changes

• FlatLaf window decorations: Added client property JRootPane.titleBarHeight
  to allow specifying a (larger) preferred height for the title bar. (issue #897)
• Added system property flatlaf.useRoundedPopupBorder to allow disabling
  native rounded popup borders on Windows 11 and macOS. On macOS 14.4+, where
  rounded popup borders are disabled since FlatLaf 3.5 because of occasional
  problems, you can use this to enable rounded popup borders (at your risk).

3.5.1

Fixes a regression and some bugs in 3.5. If you use 3.5 it is recommended to upgrade to 3.5.1.

Change Log

Fixed bugs

• HTML: Fixed occasional cutoff wrapped text when using multi-line text in HTML
  tags <h1>...<h6>, <code>, <kbd>, <big>, <small> or <samp>.
  (issue #873; regression in 3.5)
• Popup: Fixed UnsupportedOperationException: PERPIXEL_TRANSLUCENT translucency is not supported
  exception on Haiku OS when showing popup (partly) outside of window. (issue #869)
• HiDPI: Fixed occasional wrong repaint areas when using
  HiDPIUtils.installHiDPIRepaintManager(). (see PR #864)
• Added system property flatlaf.useSubMenuSafeTriangle to allow disabling
  submenu safe triangle (PR #490) for SWTSwing. (issue #870)

3.5

Change Log

New features and improvements

• Table: Support rounded selection. (PR #856)
• Button and ToggleButton: Added border colors for pressed and selected states. (issue #848)
• Label: Support painting background with rounded corners. (issue #842)
• Popup: Fixed flicker of popups (e.g. tooltips) while they are moving (e.g.
  following mouse pointer). (issues #832 and #672)
• FileChooser: Wrap shortcuts in scroll pane. (issue #828)
• Theme Editor: On macOS, use larger window title bar. (PR #779)

Fixed bugs

• macOS: Disabled rounded popup border (see PR #772) on macOS 14.4+ because it
  may freeze the application and crash the macOS WindowServer process
  (reports vary from Finder restarts to OS restarts).
  This is a temporary change until a solution is found.
  See NetBeans issues apache/netbeans#7560 and apache/netbeans#6647.
• FlatLaf window decorations: Window top border on Windows 10 in "full window
  content" mode was not fully repainted when activating or deactivating window. (issue #809)
• Button and ToggleButton: UI properties [Toggle]Button.selectedForeground and
  [Toggle]Button.pressedForeground did not work for HTML text. (issue #848)
• HTML: Fixed font sizes for HTML tags <h1>...<h6>, <code>, <kbd>,
  <big>, <small> and <samp> in HTML text for components Button, CheckBox,
  RadioButton, MenuItem (and subclasses), JideLabel, JideButton, JXBusyLabel and
  JXHyperlink. Also fixed for Label and ToolTip if using Java 11+.
• ScrollPane: Fixed/improved border painting at 125% - 175% scaling to avoid
  different border thicknesses. (issue #743)
• Table: Fixed painting of alternating rows below table if auto-resize mode is
  JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF and table width is smaller than scroll pane (was not
  updated when table width changed and was painted on wrong side in
  right-to-left component orientation).
• Theme Editor: Fixed occasional empty window on startup on macOS.
• FlatLaf window decorations: Fixed black line sometimes painted on top of
  (native) window border on Windows 11. (issue #852)
• HiDPI: Fixed incomplete component paintings at 125% or 175% scaling on Windows
  where sometimes a 1px wide area at the right or bottom component edge is not
  repainted. E.g. ScrollPane focus indicator border. (issues #860 and #582)

Incompatibilities

• ProgressBar: Log warning (including stack trace) when uninstalling
  indeterminate progress bar UI or using JProgressBar.setIndeterminate(false)
  not on AWT thread, because this may throw NPE in FlatProgressBarUI.paint().
  (issues #841 and #830)
• Panel: Rounded background of panel with rounded corners is now painted even if
  panel is not opaque. (issue #840)

3.4.1

Change Log

Fixed bugs

• SplitPane: Update divider when client property JSplitPane.expandableSide changed.
• TabbedPane: Fixed swapped back and forward scroll buttons when using
  TabbedPane.scrollButtonsPlacement = trailing (regression in FlatLaf 3.3).
• Fixed missing window top border on Windows 10 in "full window content" mode. (issue #809)
• Extras:
  • FlatSVGIcon color filters now support linear gradients. (PR #817)
  • FlatSVGIcon: Use log level CONFIG instead of SEVERE and allow
    disabling logging. (issue #823)
  • Added support for JSplitPane.expandableSide client property to FlatSplitPane.
• Native libraries: Added API version check to test whether native library
  matches the JAR (bad builds could e.g. ship a newer JAR with an older
  incompatible native library) and to test whether native methods can be invoked
  (some security software allows loading native library but blocks method invocation).
• macOS: Fixed crash when running in WebSwing. (issue #826; regression in 3.4)

Incompatibilities

• File names of custom properties files for nested Laf classes now must include
  name of enclosing class name. E.g. nested Laf class IntelliJTheme.ThemeLaf
  used ThemeLaf.properties in previous versions, but now needs to be named
  IntelliJTheme$ThemeLaf.properties.

Highlights

"full window content" mode for FlatLaf window decorations (Windows 10/11 and Linux)

Full window content mode allows you to extend the content into the window title bar. This means that the content pane (and glass pane) of the Swing window is extended into the window title bar. The window icon and title are automatically hidden. Only the minimize/maximize/close buttons stay visible. So your application can use (nearly) the whole window area.

You can try out "full window content" mode in FlatLaf Demo.
Press the "expand" button on the right side in the tab area.

macOS: window title bar close/minimize/zoom buttons spacing

If using full window content mode on macOS, it is now possible to use larger space
around the close/minimize/zoom buttons (traffic lights) to give your application a "native" look:

Change Log

New features and improvements

• FlatLaf window decorations (Windows 10/11 and Linux): Support "full window
  content" mode, which allows you to extend the content into the window title bar. (PR #801)
• macOS: Support larger window title bar close/minimize/zoom buttons spacing in
  full window content mode and introduced "buttons placeholder". (PR #779)
• Native libraries:
  • System property flatlaf.nativeLibraryPath now supports loading native
    libraries named the same as on Maven central.
  • Published flatlaf-<version>-no-natives.jar to Maven Central. This JAR is
    equal to flatlaf-<version>.jar, except that it does not contain the
    FlatLaf native libraries. The Maven "classifier" to use this JAR is
    no-natives. You need to distribute the FlatLaf native libraries with your application.
    See https://www.formdev.com/flatlaf/native-libraries/ for more details.
  • Improved log messages for loading fails.
• Fonts: Updated Inter to v4.0.
• Table: Select all text in cell editor when starting editing using F2 key on Windows or Linux. (issue #652)

Fixed bugs

• macOS: Setting window background (of undecorated window) to translucent color
  (alpha < 255) did not show the window translucent. (issue #705)
• JIDE CommandMenuBar: Fixed ClassCastException when JIDE command bar displays
  JideMenu in popup. (PR #794)

Fonts: Inter 4.0

Updated Inter font to v4.0.

Change Log

New features and improvements

• macOS (10.14+): Popups (JPopupMenu, JComboBox, JToolTip, etc.) now use
  native macOS rounded borders. (PR #772; issue #715)
• Native libraries: Added libflatlaf-macos-arm64.dylib and libflatlaf-macos-x86_64.dylib.
  See also https://www.formdev.com/flatlaf/native-libraries/.
• ScrollPane: Support rounded border. (PR #713)
• SplitPane: Support divider hover and pressed background colors. (PR #788)
• TabbedPane: Support vertical tabs. (PR #758, issue #633)
• TabbedPane: Paint rounded tab area background for rounded cards. (issue #717)
• ToolBar: Added styling properties separatorWidth and separatorColor.

Fixed bugs

• Button and ToggleButton: Selected buttons did not use explicitly set
  foreground color. (issue 756)
• FileChooser: Catch NPE in Java 21 when getting icon for .exe files that use
  default Windows exe icon. (see JDK-8320692)
• OptionPane: Fixed styling custom panel background in JOptionPane. (issue #761)
• ScrollPane: Styling ScrollPane border properties did not work if view
  component is a Table.
• Table:
  • Switching theme looses table grid and intercell spacing. (issues #733 and #750)
  • Fixed background of boolean columns when using alternating row colors. (issue #780)
  • Fixed border arc of components in complex table cell editors. (issue #786)
• TableHeader:
  • No longer temporary replace header cell renderer while painting. This avoids
    a StackOverflowError in case that custom renderer does this too. (see
    NetBeans issue #6835) This
    also improves compatibility with custom table header implementations.
  • Header cell renderer background/foreground colors were not restored after
    hover if renderer uses null for background/foreground. (PR #790)
• TabbedPane:
  • Avoid unnecessary repainting whole tabbed pane content area when layouting
    leading/trailing components.
  • Avoid unnecessary repainting of selected tab on temporary changes.
  • Fixed "endless" layouting and repainting when using nested tabbed panes (top
    and bottom tab placement) and RSyntaxTextArea (with enabled line-wrapping)
    as tab content. (see jadx issue #2030)
• Fixed broken rendering after resizing window to minimum size and then
  increasing size again. (issue #767)

Incompatibilities

• Removed support for JetBrains custom decorations, which required
  JetBrains Runtime (JBR) 8 or 11. It did not work for JBR 17. System property
  flatlaf.useJetBrainsCustomDecorations is now ignored. Note: FlatLaf
  window decorations continue to work with JBR.
