B4J Library jCustomWindow

Hi,

I am very happy to share the first version of my jCustomWindow Library with you guys. jCustomWindow allows you to customize completely the window container of your application and have a consistent style cross-platform.

This is a list of what you can do:

• Customize the title's text and style.
• Set a custom icon.
• Add an infinite number of buttons
• Set custom images for each button
• Set a pre-built action (Exit, full screen, maximize, minimize) for each button or call your own events.
• Get notified for each pre-built actions.
• Full screen mode, with no title bar.
• Set the window resizable or not.
• Set a custom style and width for the window's borders.
• Animations when maximizing.
• Adjustable animation speed.
• Uniform style, cross-platform.
• Window is resizable (now only at right and bottom corners).
• Maximizing will maximize on the active screen in the case of multi-monitor setup.

Note:

• You should initialize the jCustomWindow BEFORE calling the Form.Show (as in the example)
• You should set the formStyle of your form to "UNDECORATED" (as in the example)
• You need to copy the jCustomWindow.fxml to your files folder.

Some images:

Additional info:

• Icons in the folder have been created from the Android Icon Pack by Google. (I modified them a bit). I allow you to use the icons I modified freely, just check the Google's policy regarding their icon pack.
• The CSS for the buttons and title have been inspired by this page: http://fxexperience.com/2011/12/styling-fx-buttons-with-css Check it out, some good stuff there.

Enjoy.

Change Log:

2014-02-20: Fixed a few bugs:

• bugFix: Window borders would disappear when the window was scaled down.
• BugFix: Window borders were still visible in fullscreen mode.
• Change: iBorderWidth changed from Int to Double (not script breaking).

2014-02-19: Version 1 released.

2014-02-18: Alpha version.
