Darklaf Versions Save

This release updates the svg renderer to be more forgiving with unimplemented features (e.g. filter primitives) or malformed svg.

Addressed issues

• Malformed svg files or usage of unsupported svg features may fail during painting

Visual changes

• Borderless variants of buttons now paint a focus border for better accessibility. c89d617612b02121f363ea026a2383ca79b3cccc
• Some minor layout improvements to the theme settings dialog.

Behavioural changes

• Borderless variants now implicitly set JComponent.isRequestFocusEnabled to false for less visual noise when clicking them.

API Changes

• Custom SVG colours can now be declared using the <solidcolor/> tag element. 6484b96c06d0da5b3d2c1d385ed791f1f078a2ae

Version 3.0.0 enables proper module support by providing a module-info.java for each module. Note that this release brings some breaking changes as packages have been moved to resolve issues with split packages:

• In darklaf-property-loader the top level package is now com.github.weisj.darklaf.properties. In particular this affects PropertyLoader, IconLoader and the various (svg)icon classes.
• com.github.weisj.darklaf.color.DarkColorModel* in darklaf-utils has been moved to com.github.weisj.darklaf.color in darklaf-property-loader
• Most functions which return/receive an IconLoader now return IconResolver instead.
• com.github.weisj.darklaf.color.ColorUtil in darklaf-utils has been moved to com.github.weisj.darklaf.util
• com.github.weisj.darklaf.util in darklaf-core has been moved to com.github.weisj.darklaf.ui.util
• com.github.weisj.darklaf.platform in darklaf-native-util has been renamed to com.github.weisj.darklaf.nativeutil
• All icons have moved into the darklaf-iconset project. If you need to use them you can depend on darklaf-iconset and use the IconSet.ICON_LOADER to retrieve them.

New modules

darklaf-iconset

Provides a set of icons optimized for darklaf. They can also be used with other LaFs without any further setup. If you wish to customize the colors used for the icons you have to provide the colors defined in https://github.com/weisJ/darklaf/blob/master/theme/src/main/resources/com/github/weisj/darklaf/theme/icon_presets/light_icons.properties through the UIDefaults in UIManager.

Icons can be conveniently accessed through the AllIcons class.

darklaf-platform-preferences

A module which exposed the native theme detection mechanism as a standalone dependency. It can be used without having to use darklaf itself. Simply create a new SystemPreferencesManager and start listening for changes to the OS theme.

darklaf-platform-decorations

A module which exposed the native decorations feature of darklaf as a standalone dependency. It should be compatible with almost all other laf implementations (mileage may vary). The responsible class is ExternalLafDecorator. By default the implementation tries to derive sensible colors based on other LaF properties. If you want to customize the appearance of the titlebar you can do so by providing a DecorationsColorProvider. See the discussion in #316 for more informations and use cases.
