Changing theme (look & feel) in ICAN505 Enterprise designer
Hello
I'm running different Enterprise designers against different repositories and I would like the GUI to appear in different "styles", to make it easier for me to recognise what ED/repository I'm running against.
I have identified the possibility to provide the alloy.theme parameter on the command line in runed.bat but I don't seam to get the hang of it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Best regards

It's very easy. Navigate to edesigner\jdk\jre\lib\ext. Copy alloy.jar, the jar file for the alloy look and feel into this folder. Also, add a jar file containing a text file alloy.properties. This properties file would look like the following:
alloy.theme=bedouin
alloy.isLookAndFeelFrameDecoration=true
change the alloy.theme property for your various environments.
And add a file called swing.properties under edesigner\jdk\jre\lib folder. the sample swing.properties would look like:
swing.installedlafs = motif,windows,metal,mac,alloy
swing.installedlaf.motif.name = CDE/Motif
swing.installedlaf.motif.class = com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel
swing.installedlaf.windows.name = Windows
swing.installedlaf.windows.class = com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel
swing.installedlaf.metal.name = Metal
swing.installedlaf.metal.class = javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel
swing.installedlaf.mac.name = Mac
swing.installedlaf.mac.class = com.sun.java.swing.plaf.mac.MacLookAndFeel
swing.installedlaf.alloy.name = Alloy
swing.installedlaf.alloy.class = com.incors.plaf.alloy.AlloyLookAndFeel
swing.defaultlaf=com.incors.plaf.alloy.AlloyLookAndFeel
Start eDesigner to see the change....
Have fun....
