Hi,
I am
using AWT components like Choices, TextFields, buttons, etc. in an applet. The
appearance of these components on Windows and Linux is so vast that the applet
can't be used in Linux while it is perfectly fine and beautiful under Windows.
Of course, I expect some variation on appearance between the two, but some of
these are ridiculous. Maybe I am missing something here, but I will raise a few
examples below for your comments.
1) The
nastiest one is the Choices. After I specified it's bounds. The box
displayed as expected under windows, but under linux, the box stretches outside
the applet boundary. Rendering it impossible to manipulate.
2) The
text field in Linux cuts off the bottom half of the text while it displays fine
under windows. If I increases the height of the box, then it looks ugly under
windows.
3) The
button has a default color of black under linux which is a bit unusual to say
the least.
Finally, I am using SUN's 1.4.1 JVM for both platforms.
The browser is Mosaic on linux and IE & Netscape under
windows.
Any
helpful enlightenment is welcome!
