OpenLook Pluggable Look & Feel

Java Pluggable Look & Feel

• Java Look and Feel Design Guidelines
• sourceforge project page

Design Goals

• Follow the original OPEN LOOK design as closely as possible, where this is not in conflict with other goals.
• Allow to zoom the user interface on displays with an unexpectedly high DPI rate (e.g. e-Paper)
• Implement an olvwm lookalike window manager in Java that can reside inside a Java enabled X server which can execute Java UIs locally.
