Match theme color in MenuBarCustomizer?

[queshaw]

Hi,

I know very little Swing. How can I match the theme color when adding a menu and menu item? My latest attempt:

Code: Select all

                    Color bg = (Color) UIManager.get("MenuBar.background");
                    Color fg = (Color) UIManager.get("MenuBar.foreground");
                    UIManager.put("MenuItem.background", bg);
                    UIManager.put("MenuItem.foreground", fg);
                    UIManager.put("Menu.background", bg);
                    UIManager.put("Menu.foreground", fg);
                    JMenu menu = new JMenu("Some");
                    JMenuItem item = new JMenuItem(createSyncAction(...));
                    item.setSelected(false);
                    item.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_ALT | KeyEvent.VK_S);
                    item.setBackground(bg);
                    item.setForeground(fg);
                    item.setOpaque(true);
                    menu.add(item);
                    menu.setSelected(false);
                    menu.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_ALT | KeyEvent.VK_A);
                    menu.setBackground(bg);
                    menu.setForeground(fg);
                    menu.setOpaque(true);
                    menuBar.add(menu, menuBar.getMenuCount() - 1);

I also tried menuBar.getBackground()/getForeground() instead of UIManager.get.

Hi Kendall,

Instead of JMenu you should create an Oxygen specific ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.standalone.ui.Menu.
After this avoid creating the JMenuItem, use the method javax.swing.JMenu.add(Action) to directly add the action to the menu.
