## Class MetalLookAndFeel

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.swing.LookAndFeel
  - - javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicLookAndFeel
    - - javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `Serializable`

      public class MetalLookAndFeel
      extends BasicLookAndFeel

  The Java Look and Feel, otherwise known as Metal.

  Each of the `ComponentUI`s provided by `MetalLookAndFeel` derives its behavior from the defaults table. Unless otherwise noted each of the `ComponentUI` implementations in this package document the set of defaults they use. Unless otherwise noted the defaults are installed at the time `installUI` is invoked, and follow the recommendations outlined in `LookAndFeel` for installing defaults.

  `MetalLookAndFeel` derives it's color palette and fonts from `MetalTheme`. The default theme is `OceanTheme`. The theme can be changed using the `setCurrentTheme` method, refer to it for details on changing the theme. Prior to 1.5 the default theme was `DefaultMetalTheme`. The system property `"swing.metalTheme"` can be set to `"steel"` to indicate the default should be `DefaultMetalTheme`.

  Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans™ has been added to the `java.beans` package. Please see `XMLEncoder`.

    - #### initClassDefaults

          protected void initClassDefaults​(UIDefaults table)

      Populates `table` with mappings from `uiClassID` to the fully qualified name of the ui class. `MetalLookAndFeel` registers an entry for each of the classes in the package `javax.swing.plaf.metal` that are named MetalXXXUI. The string `XXX` is one of Swing's uiClassIDs. For the `uiClassIDs` that do not have a class in metal, the corresponding class in `javax.swing.plaf.basic` is used. For example, metal does not have a class named `"MetalColorChooserUI"`, as such, `javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicColorChooserUI` is used.
      Overrides:
        `initClassDefaults` in class `BasicLookAndFeel`
      Parameters:
        `table` - the `UIDefaults` instance the entries are added to
      Throws:

      "infoText" | `theme.getPrimaryControlInfo()`

      The value `theme` corresponds to the current `MetalTheme`.
      Overrides:
        `initSystemColorDefaults` in class `BasicLookAndFeel`
      Parameters:
        `table` - the `UIDefaults` object the values are added to
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if `table` is `null`
      See Also:
        `SystemColor`, `BasicLookAndFeel.getDefaults()`, `BasicLookAndFeel.loadSystemColors(javax.swing.UIDefaults, java.lang.String[], boolean)`

    - #### initComponentDefaults

      Populates `table` with the defaults for metal.
      Overrides:
        `initComponentDefaults` in class `BasicLookAndFeel`
      Parameters:
        `table` - the `UIDefaults` to add the values to
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if `table` is `null`

    - #### createDefaultTheme

          protected void createDefaultTheme()

      Ensures the current `MetalTheme` is `non-null`. This is a cover method for `getCurrentTheme`.
      See Also:
        `getCurrentTheme()`

    - #### getDefaults

          public UIDefaults getDefaults()

      Returns the look and feel defaults. This invokes, in order, `createDefaultTheme()`, `super.getDefaults()` and `getCurrentTheme().addCustomEntriesToTable(table)`.

      While this method is public, it should only be invoked by the `UIManager` when the look and feel is set as the current look and feel and after `initialize` has been invoked.

      Overrides:
        `getDefaults` in class `BasicLookAndFeel`
      Returns:
        the look and feel defaults
      See Also:
        `createDefaultTheme()`, `BasicLookAndFeel.getDefaults()`, `MetalTheme.addCustomEntriesToTable(UIDefaults)`

    - #### provideErrorFeedback

          public void provideErrorFeedback​(Component component)

      Invoked when the user attempts an invalid operation, such as pasting into an uneditable `JTextField` that has focus. The default implementation beeps. Subclasses that wish different behavior should override this and provide the additional feedback.
      Overrides:
        `provideErrorFeedback` in class `LookAndFeel`
      Parameters:
        `component` - the `Component` the error occurred in, may be `null` indicating the error condition is not directly associated with a `Component`
      Since:
        1.4

    - #### setCurrentTheme

          public static void setCurrentTheme​(MetalTheme theme)

      Set the theme used by `MetalLookAndFeel`.

      After the theme is set, `MetalLookAndFeel` needs to be re-installed and the uis need to be recreated. The following shows how to do this:

             MetalLookAndFeel.setCurrentTheme(theme);

             // re-install the Metal Look and Feel
             UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new MetalLookAndFeel());

             // Update the ComponentUIs for all Components. This
             // needs to be invoked for all windows.
             SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(rootComponent);

      If this is not done the results are undefined.
      Parameters:
        `theme` - the theme to use
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if `theme` is `null`
      See Also:
        `getCurrentTheme()`

    - #### getCurrentTheme

          public static MetalTheme getCurrentTheme()

      Return the theme currently being used by `MetalLookAndFeel`. If the current theme is `null`, the default theme is created.
      Returns:
        the current theme
      Since:
        1.5
      See Also:
        `setCurrentTheme(javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalTheme)`

    - #### getDisabledIcon

          public Icon getDisabledIcon​(JComponent component,
                                      Icon icon)

      Returns an `Icon` with a disabled appearance. This method is used to generate a disabled `Icon` when one has not been specified. For example, if you create a `JButton` and only specify an `Icon` via `setIcon` this method will be called to generate the disabled `Icon`. If null is passed as `icon` this method returns null.

      Some look and feels might not render the disabled Icon, in which case they will ignore this.

      Overrides:
        `getDisabledIcon` in class `LookAndFeel`
      Parameters:
        `component` - JComponent that will display the Icon, may be null
        `icon` - Icon to generate disable icon from.
      Returns:
        Disabled icon, or null if a suitable Icon can not be generated.
      Since:
        1.5

    - #### getDisabledSelectedIcon

          public Icon getDisabledSelectedIcon​(JComponent component,
                                              Icon icon)

      Returns an `Icon` for use by disabled components that are also selected. This method is used to generate an `Icon` for components that are in both the disabled and selected states but do not have a specific `Icon` for this state. For example, if you create a `JButton` and only specify an `Icon` via `setIcon` this method will be called to generate the disabled and selected `Icon`. If null is passed as `icon` this method returns null.

      Some look and feels might not render the disabled and selected Icon, in which case they will ignore this.

      Overrides:
        `getDisabledSelectedIcon` in class `LookAndFeel`
      Parameters:
        `component` - JComponent that will display the Icon, may be null
        `icon` - Icon to generate disabled and selected icon from.
      Returns:
        Disabled and Selected icon, or null if a suitable Icon can not be generated.
