Sponsor FlatLaf
Thanks for your interest in sponsoring FlatLaf.
Developing and supporting FlatLaf as open-source project is a costly undertaking. Since the start of development in 2019, we've spent nearly 5000 hours working on FlatLaf. Almost completely financed by FormDev Software GmbH and its JFormDesigner customers. But now, we need your help.
If your company is using FlatLaf, please sponsor FlatLaf to ensure further development. Thank you.
If you're using FlatLaf to build a revenue-generating product, it makes business sense to sponsor FlatLaf's development to ensure that the project that your product relies on stays healthy and actively maintained.

System Theming
Suggested API:
/** * Gives access to system theme information (light/dark, accent color, etc) * and allows listening to changes. */ public class SystemTheming { /** Returns whether supported on current operating system and CPU architecture. */ public static boolean isSupportedPlatform() /** Returns whether the operating system theme is dark. */ public static boolean isDarkMode() /** Returns the operating system theme accent color, or null. */ public static Color getAccentColor() /** Returns the macOS operating system theme highlight color, or null. */ public static Color getHighlightColor() /** Adds a listener. Will be invoked on AWT thread. */ public static void addListener( Listener l ) /** Removes the listener. */ public static void removeListener( Listener l ) /** The listener interface for receiving system theme change events. */ public interface Listener { public void systemThemeChanged( Event e ); } /** A event that indicates that the system theme has changed. */ public static class Event { public boolean isDarkMode() public Color getAccentColor() } }
Usage:
// setup application look and feel if( SystemTheming.isDarkMode() ) FlatDarkLaf.setup(); else FlatLightLaf.setup(); // update application look and feel on OS changes SystemTheming.addListener( e -> { if( e.isDarkMode() ) FlatDarkLaf.setup(); else FlatLightLaf.setup(); FlatLaf.updateUI(); } ); // create UI ...
