A modern, Material Design UI for Java Swing

Skins JComponents to have a Material Design Look and Feel. Most components are responsive, with hover effects, and click effects (no ripple unfortunately). Fonts included.

Screenshot in action below (chessboard not included 😛):

Other screenshot you can found here

Go to the releases (or just the target/classes folder in the repo) and download the latest version of material-ui-swing.jar. The OSGi version is available under target. Add it to your project's build path (e.g. for IntelliJ this might help), and you're all set!

import mdlaf.*;
import mdlaf.animation.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class MaterialUISwingDemo {

	public static void main (String[] args) {
		try {
			UIManager.setLookAndFeel (new MaterialLookAndFeel ());
		}
		catch (UnsupportedLookAndFeelException e) {
			e.printStackTrace ();
		}

		JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Material Design UI for Swing by atharva washimkar");
		frame.setMinimumSize (new Dimension (600, 400));

		JButton button = new JButton ("PRESS ME");
		button.setMaximumSize (new Dimension (200, 200));

		JPanel content = new JPanel ();
		content.add (button);
		frame.add (content, BorderLayout.CENTER);

		// on hover, button will change to a light gray
		MaterialUIMovement.add (button, MaterialColors.GRAY_100);

		frame.pack ();
		frame.setVisible (true);
	}
}

Check src/main/java/MaterialUISwingDemo.java for a slightly longer example of how to use this library (and an explanation of what everything means/does). For a real-world example of usage, see here.

This look and feel implement an method for theming personal, don't use the MetalTheme but implements the complete system.

For the moment not is scheduler a documentations and this is considered a version alpha, if you want to try the implement a theme for this look and feel, you can extend the abstract class AbstractMaterialTheme implement the methods abstract, for more info look theme mlaf.thmes.MaterialLiteTheme

For a change the theme to runtime you can use this code

 if (UIManager.getLookAndFeel() instanceof MaterialLookAndFeel){
     MaterialLookAndFeel.changeTheme(new MaterialDarkTheme());
 }

Look the example here

We are using the Stack Overflow to help the community because we don't have much time to write detailed documentation, but remember we worked hard to build a customizable look-and-feel. If you need the help, you can write a post with these tags

java, material, swing, look-and-feel

ps:we use these until we have one of our own

List of projects with Material-UI-Swing theme

• JMars Beta

Send me a mail if you use material-ui-swing so I add the your project at the list

A fork of this project exists and is maintained by @vincenzopalazzo, which implements some Android components not found in the traditional Java Swing library.
