Hello Team , We have our oxygen plugin implemented with Menu , and the overridden as

@Override
public void customizeAuthorPopUpMenu(JPopupMenu popup,
AuthorAccess authorAccess) {
// Add our custom action
popup.add(CustomAction);
}

for Custom Menu , how do i change the Background color of Menu option on select for example

image.png

on select "Welcome" by default the bg color is blue , wanted to change that , please help me here.

and also for javax swing components how can we handle the style sheets ? as like web apps , i Know this is something related to java , was just checking is there anything samples already that oxygenxml has?

Thanks,
vishwa

Hi,

The Oxygen desktop's user interface is built using Java Swing components, so it cannot be customized as a web page using HTML and CSS.
Maybe what you want can be done something like this:

Code: Select all

          public void customizeAuthorPopUpMenu(JPopupMenu popUp, AuthorAccess authorAccess) {
            JMenuItem menuItem = new JMenuItem(CustomAction);
            menuItem.setOpaque(true);
            menuItem.setBackground(Color.RED);
            menuItem.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
            popUp.add(menuItem);
          }

but I would advise you against customizing the colors for menu items, Oxygen has multiple possible color schemes (see Preferences->"Appearance") and your custom chosen colors may not look good with a certain color theme, for example with our "Graphite" color scheme.
