Analysis

Overview

The goal of this revision of the task is to create a more beautiful mydoggy interface for every skin of Sophie2.

Task requirements

• Provide a way to define skin parts for mydoggy. Currently there is no such mechanism. The skinning of the layout is provided by the base layout library with titles and tool-tips. The visual part that is mydoggy, should also be skinnable. This means that every layout component that provides a tool window manager should become a BaseVisualElement and define a skin part.
• Mydoggy skin parts for every skin should be themselves included in the skin.
• For some parts of mydoggy a custom UI should be provided. This is needed because mydoggy overrides the look and feel UIs that are provided by default.
• Provide icons for the title bar of every tool window. Icons for flaps are slightly different from icons for inner tool window managers.
• Provide colors for other parts of mydoggy.
• Create a mechanism for auto updating of all mydoggy skin things.

Task result

• Source code.

Implementation idea

• See the already added updateUI() method of MDManageable where the UI is updated upon skin changing.
• Change the super class of some of the layout components to BaseVisualElement and provide a method:

          @SkinPartDef
  	private static void defineSkin(ElementSkinPart part) {
             //fill in skin part.
  	}
  

• Add an ID for the skin called "mydoggy-properties" that contains mydoggy customizations.
• For UI classes no idea yet.

How to demo

• Run sophie and change the skin from the skin menu.
• Mydoggy should change its appearance depending on the skin chosen.

Design

• In order to define skinning for mydoggy, every MD component that has a tool window manager should become a BaseVisualElement and fill in skin parts using:

          @SkinPartDef
  	private static void defineSkin(ElementSkinPart part) {
             //fill in skin part.
  	}
  

• These components are the components that implement MDManageable.
• A class that sets up mydoggy skinning and updates mydoggy upon skin changing will be created. It will be named MDSkinUpdater.
