Hi,

I got small problem regarding GUI after updating my JAVA version 1.4 to
1.5 in sun sparc solaris 8.

Java application GUI looking like shaded window (full black color and
buttons blinking while mouse over). Earlier this application working
fine with java 1.3 and java 1.4.

My observation is application GUI fine from remote login (from windows
system with using of exceed or Reflection X) it's happened worst on
solaris system only.

Any body has any idea about this problem.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Jaya

You need to give more clues than the colour of the screen.
How about?
1. an SSCCE. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/snippet.html
2. an error message.
3. a stack trace

Yeah Roedy..

Images are looking fine but remaining working area like frames, lables,
command buttons and combo boxes looking like black shaded objects
insted of standerd windows color.

Is there any problem with Java swings?

Maybe this is somebody's idea of a wonderfully sexy Look and Feel??
Try explicitly choosing a L&F. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/laf.html

You don't have that LAF installed. Pick one of the Sun ones.

some come with the JDK. Those you just use the way I show at
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/laf.html
either with the -D command line or with a call in your kickoff main.

For ones you download, read the instructions at the download site.
Chances are, all you do is put a jar in the ext directory.

See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/classpath.html

I was playing with some earlier today. The SkinLF people have bundled
up a number of L&Fs with a menu to let the user select his favourite.

It is probably safest to pick a L&F at the start of an app and stick
with it, though I think in theory you are supposed to be able to flip
in mid flight.
