Is there any way to reuse my CSS in an application that uses Java Swing ?
-
2You already have a CSS file you use for something else? A web page perhaps? What would you like to use CSS for? Just colors and font sizes or layout and behaviour?Pål Brattberg– Pål Brattberg2011-05-10 21:53:17 +00:00Commented May 10, 2011 at 21:53

I don't know if we have something that parse the css style, but for Swing application I have been using Miglayout, that is not a translation of css, but it follows most of patternsJonatas Emidio– Jonatas Emidio2018-12-14 21:51:44 +00:00Commented Dec 14, 2018 at 21:51

Java swing generally isn't built to separate its controls from its presentation, but there is an open-source framework called Jaxx that has been written that might help you. With Jaxx you can do something like this:
<Application title='Calculator'>
<style source='Calculator.css'/> //your style goes here...
<script source='Calculator.script'/>
<Table fill='both' id='table'>
<row>
<cell columns='4'><JLabel id='display' text='0'/></cell>
</row>
<row>
<cell columns='2'><JButton id='c' label='C' onActionPerformed='clear()' styleClass='clear'/></cell>
<cell><JButton id='ce' label='CE' onActionPerformed='clearEntry()' styleClass='clear'/></cell>
<cell><JButton id='equals' label='=' onActionPerformed='equal()' styleClass='operator'/></cell>
</row>
<row>
<cell><JButton id='d7' label='7' onActionPerformed='digit(7)' styleClass='digit'/></cell>
<cell><JButton id='d8' label='8' onActionPerformed='digit(8)' styleClass='digit'/></cell>
<cell><JButton id='d9' label='9' onActionPerformed='digit(9)' styleClass='digit'/></cell>
<cell><JButton id='plus' label='+' onActionPerformed='add()' styleClass='operator'/></cell>
</row>
<row>
<cell><JButton id='d4' label='4' onActionPerformed='digit(4)' styleClass='digit'/></cell>
<cell><JButton id='d5' label='5' onActionPerformed='digit(5)' styleClass='digit'/></cell>
<cell><JButton id='d6' label='6' onActionPerformed='digit(6)' styleClass='digit'/></cell>
<cell><JButton id='subtract' label='-' onActionPerformed='subtract()' styleClass='operator'/></cell>
</row>
<row>
<cell><JButton id='d1' label='1' onActionPerformed='digit(1)' styleClass='digit'/></cell>
<cell><JButton id='d2' label='2' onActionPerformed='digit(2)' styleClass='digit'/></cell>
<cell><JButton id='d3' label='3' onActionPerformed='digit(3)' styleClass='digit'/></cell>
<cell><JButton id='multiply' label='x' onActionPerformed='multiply()' styleClass='operator'/></cell>
</row>
<row>
<cell><JButton id='d0' label='0' onActionPerformed='digit(0)' styleClass='digit'/></cell>
<cell><JButton id='sign' label='+/-' onActionPerformed='toggleSign()' styleClass='operator'/></cell>
<cell><JButton id='dot' label='.' onActionPerformed='dot()' styleClass='digit'/></cell>
<cell><JButton id='divide' label='÷' onActionPerformed='divide()' styleClass='operator'/></cell>
</row>
and then include a css file to style your components:
Application {
lookAndFeel: system;
}
#display {
background: #BCE5AD;
opaque: true;
horizontalAlignment: right;
border: {BorderFactory.createBevelBorder(BevelBorder.LOWERED)};
font-size: 22;
font-weight: bold;
}
