Yes, there are several issues with the Java Swing GtkTheme: - menu bar picking up wrong colors - dropdown menus and context menus have no border - dropdown menus and context menus are missing dropdown-shadow - menu separators are missing
In an ideal world this would be fixed in the JDK... but as a Java developer I can only fix my app to make it look decent in Ubuntu 12.04 by - setting the menu color explicitly if under Gtk Ambiance theme - using heavy-weight popups so that they have border and dropdown-shadow - explicitly setting the y thickness so that menu separators show up All these workarounds can be examined e.g. in this source: https://github.com/mjuhasz/BDSup2Sub/blob/2180016ff01de9c0a056f743387b90c2de11b2d4/src/main/java/bdsup2sub/gui/support/GuiUtils.java -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/932274 Title: Regression: Unreadable menu bar with Ambiance theme in Java/Swing GTK L&F Status in Light Themes: Invalid Status in OpenJDK: New Status in “light-themes” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “openjdk-7” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi, I have a problem in netbeans (and other java applications) with Ambiance theme.
