Initializes the look and feel. While this method is public, it should only be invoked by the UIManager when a look and feel is installed as the current look and feel. This method is invoked before the UIManager invokes getDefaults. This method is intended to perform any initialization for the look and feel. Subclasses should do any one-time setup they need here, rather than in a static initializer, because look and feel class objects may be loaded just to discover that isSupportedLookAndFeel() returns false.

Uninitializes the look and feel. While this method is public, it should only be invoked by the UIManager when the look and feel is uninstalled. For example, UIManager.setLookAndFeel invokes this when the look and feel is changed.

Subclasses may choose to free up some resources here.

Populates table with mappings from uiClassID to the fully qualified name of the ui class. The value for a particular uiClassID is "javax.swing.plaf.basic.Basic + uiClassID" . For example, the value for the uiClassIDTreeUI is "javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTreeUI" .

Populates table with system colors. This creates an array of name-color pairs and invokes loadSystemColors .

The name is a String that corresponds to the name of one of the static SystemColor fields in the SystemColor class. A name-color pair is created for every such SystemColor field.

The color corresponds to a hex String as understood by Color.decode. For example, one of the name-color pairs is "desktop"-"#005C5C" . This corresponds to the SystemColor field desktop, with a color value of new Color(0x005C5C) .

The following shows two of the name-color pairs:

   String[] nameColorPairs = new String[] {
          "desktop", "#005C5C",
    "activeCaption", "#000080" };
   loadSystemColors(table, nameColorPairs, isNativeLookAndFeel());
 

As previously stated, this invokes loadSystemColors with the supplied table and name-color pair array. The last argument to loadSystemColors indicates whether the value of the field in SystemColor should be used. This method passes the value of isNativeLookAndFeel() as the last argument to loadSystemColors.

Populates table with the name-color pairs in systemColors. Refer to initSystemColorDefaults(UIDefaults) for details on the format of systemColors.

An entry is added to table for each of the name-color pairs in systemColors. The entry key is the name of the name-color pair.

The value of the entry corresponds to the color of the name-color pair. The value of the entry is calculated in one of two ways. With either approach the value is always a ColorUIResource.

If useNative is false, the color is created by using Color.decode to convert the String into a Color. If decode can not convert the String into a Color ( NumberFormatException is thrown) then a ColorUIResource of black is used.

If useNative is true, the color is the value of the field in SystemColor with the same name as the name of the name-color pair. If the field is not valid, a ColorUIResource of black is used.

Populates table with the defaults for the basic look and feel.

Returns an ActionMap containing the audio actions for this look and feel.

The returned ActionMap contains Actions that embody the ability to render an auditory cue. These auditory cues map onto user and system activities that may be useful for an end user to know about (such as a dialog box appearing).

At the appropriate time, the ComponentUI is responsible for obtaining an Action out of the ActionMap and passing it to playSound.

This method first looks up the ActionMap from the defaults using the key "AuditoryCues.actionMap".

If the value is non-null, it is returned. If the value of the default "AuditoryCues.actionMap" is null and the value of the default "AuditoryCues.cueList" is non-null, an ActionMapUIResource is created and populated. Population is done by iterating over each of the elements of the "AuditoryCues.cueList" array, and invoking createAudioAction() to create an Action for each element. The resulting Action is placed in the ActionMapUIResource, using the array element as the key. For example, if the "AuditoryCues.cueList" array contains a single-element, "audioKey" , the ActionMapUIResource is created, then populated by way of actionMap.put(cueList[0], createAudioAction(cueList[0])) .

If the value of the default "AuditoryCues.actionMap" is null and the value of the default "AuditoryCues.cueList" is null, an empty ActionMapUIResource is created.

Creates and returns an Action used to play a sound.

If key is non-null, an Action is created using the value from the defaults with key key. The value identifies the sound resource to load when actionPerformed is invoked on the Action. The sound resource is loaded into a byte[] by way of getClass().getResourceAsStream().

If necessary, invokes actionPerformed on audioAction to play a sound. The actionPerformed method is invoked if the value of the "AuditoryCues.playList" default is a non-null Object[] containing a String entry equal to the name of the audioAction.
