= Analysis =

== Overview ==
Apply a new design to the application.
== Task requirements ==
 * Default skin (what has been designed as the default skin for Sophie2.0) 
  * Customize swing 
   * MyDoggy part
    * Flaps
    * Tabs
    * Palettes
   * Swing in the rest of Sophie2.0
    * Scrollbars
    * Spinners
    * Checkboxes
    * Radiobuttons
    * Backgrounds
    * Fonts
  * Customize scenes
   * Halos - this is part of the current skin logic and needs nothing else but new icons.
   * Huds - this is part of the previous thing. Huds are JPanels and need to be skinnable.
    * Background should be semitransparent, e6e8ea
    * Static text should be semitransparent, 2d43b0
 * Currently there is a skin called alternative that should be fixed as well:
  * Provide the missing icons.
  * Provide the missing tool-tips
  * (Optional) Provide a different LookAndFeel for this skin.
  * Customize mydoggy colors and icons(optional).

== Task result ==
Source code + artwork

== Implementation idea ==
 * http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/plaf.html
 * '''Notes:''' Things stated in the requirements section will extend the idea of Skin in  Sophie2.0. Furthermore, skins will include:
  * Icons for halos and tooltips of all components that have such.
  * MyDoggy customization.
  * Java LookAndFeel customization.
  * In order for the skin to be one thing that provides functionality for these three, all the parts should be integrated and designed in such a way that:
   * Changing a skin will change all these things.
   * Persisting a skin will persist all these things.
   * The Skin manager should be able to provide functionality, so that a subset of these three parts should customizable. For example one might want to change the icons but leave the look and feel.

 * [wiki:GROUP_BASE_SKINS_R0]

== How to demo ==
 * Run Sophie2.0
 * Click on skins menus and the change the skin.
 * MyDoggy should change its appearance.
 * Other swing parts should change their appearance.
 * Skin parts - like halos and tooltips should also change.

= Design =
 * LookAndFeel of Swing will be changed in order to have a different looking Sophie2 skin.
 * As of Java 1.5 a new way of defining the Look and feel of java is developed (see http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/lookandfeel/synth.html for more information) .
 * The SynthLookAndFeel defined for Sophie2 will be put in the "org.sophie2.main.skin.alternative" module. This module will contain all skinning of Sophie2, until we implement skin persistence.
 * Later the look and feel will be sealed in a jar file.
 * For a more detailed information about the Look and feel and its artifacts see [wiki:AUTHOR_APP_TUNING]
 * Mydoggy customization will be hard coded in the same module...
