Overview of the UI parts

• Every part of Swing can be customized by providing a style for it. Example:

  <!-- ================================= -->
  <!-- BUTTON -->
  <!-- ================================= -->
  
    <style id="buttonStyle">
      <!-- Shift the text one pixel when pressed -->
      <property key="Button.textShiftOffset" type="integer" value="1"/>
      <insets top="1" left="1" right="1" bottom="1"/>
    
      <state value="ENABLED">
        <imagePainter method="buttonBackground" path="btn_enabled.png"
                      sourceInsets="2 1 1 2"/>
      </state>
      <state value="DISABLED">
        <imagePainter method="buttonBackground" path="btn_disabled.png"
                      sourceInsets="2 1 1 2"/>
      </state>
       <state value="PRESSED">
        <imagePainter method="buttonBackground" path="btn_roll.png"
                      sourceInsets="2 1 1 2"/>
