Desktop properties

Hi,

Does anyone know where there is definitive list of which desktop
properties are available on which platforms?

I found a sun document which lists the ones for windows, but I haven't
been able to find similar lists for the Mac or linux/unix etc.

Thanks,

Rob.

If I understand you correctly..
Enumeration en = System.getProperties().propertyNames();

No I mean the desktop properties accessed through
Toolkit.getDesktopProperty(String). You need to know the name of the
property to access it. I can't find a way of dumping all the values.

System.getProperties().list(System.out);

See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/guide/swing/1.4/w2k_props.html

In general, this is not possible, especially on UNIX platforms.

I always use this...works with what ever look and feel you are
currently using.

public static void printUIManagerDefaults()
{

Object[] objs =
javax.swing.UIManager.getLookAndFeel().getDefaults().keySet().toArray();
java.util.Arrays.sort( objs );
for( int i = 0; i < objs.length; i++ )
{
System.out.println(objs[i]+"\n-----------------------------value
= "+javax.swing.UIManager.getDefaults().get(objs[i]));
}
}
