Thinlet

Skinlet project - skin support for Thinlets!

Thinlet is a GUI toolkit for Java applications, created by the genius guy Robert Bajzat. It separates the graphic presentation (described in an XML file) and the application methods (written as Java code). It does not require SWING, runs on Java 1.1, and is LGPL licensed.

Skinlet extends Thinlet to provide graphical skin support and a couple of minor enhancements. Skins consist of bitmap pieces and basic rules described in a text file. I love to work on it in my spare time and it is also LGPL licensed.

Please download the Demo when you have the time and let me know what do you think: skinlet at rcsoft.net

Current version 0.4.2 beta ( bugfix release )

Changelog:

05-Apr-07 - project now dead. It seems that Thinlet has been abandoned by most of its supporters and its creator. The downloads that used to live here can be obtained via SourceForge.net.

09-Sep-03 - Version 0.4.2 beta, bugfix release. Minor bugfixes and improvements. I decided to temporarily suspend Skinlet development until it gets clear what the future refactored Thinlet will look like. This is mainly because the current one-class structure makes it really hard to keep up-to-date with each Thinlet update.

21-Aug-03 - Version 0.4 beta, source release. One more skin. List bug fixed. Support for styling ( rich text ) on most components. Sources finally available for download, see comments and readme.txt
Next: Skin creation guide, 3 more skins.

14-Aug-03 - Version 0.3 beta, preview release. Vacation is over, back to work! All components skinned. Annoying bug on list, tables, trees. Skins packed in separate JARs.
Next: source release, 3 more skins and readme file.

08-Jul-03 - First public release 0.2 beta, request for comments. Plan to release the source when a stable version is ready. Includes two skins, most components skinnable, except lists and tables. The clearwater skin is made by me and is free, while the crystallized skin is copyrighted and can't be used without author's permission. Please check the notes in its config file.

18-Apr-03 - Work started :)
