With Java Swing. I am using Netbeans IDE. What is the simplest solution ?
Thank you very much.

You can customize the look of a Swing component by setting a custom UI. In the case of a scroll pane's scroll bar, you do
scrollPane.getVerticalScrollBar().setUI(new MyScrollBarUI());
where MyScrollBarUI
is derived from javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicScrollBarUI
. To do this for all scroll bars (not only in JScrollPane
instances), call
UIManager.put("ScrollBarUI", "my.package.MyScrollBarUI");
before you create any Swing components.
In MyScrollBarUI
, you override the following methods:
public class MyScrollBarUI extends BasicScrollBarUI {
@Override
protected void paintTrack(Graphics g, JComponent c, Rectangle trackBounds) {
// your code
}
@Override
protected void paintThumb(Graphics g, JComponent c, Rectangle thumbBounds) {
// your code
}
}
Your scroll bar is graphically very simple, so it should not be too hard to implement.
1) override JToolBar
2) most of Custom Look and Feel overrode that
Don't forget that if you plan to use the UIManager to override all scrollbars like this
UIManager.put("ScrollBarUI", "my.custom.SimpleScrollBarUI");
then your SimpleScrollBarUI class must have the createUI method, i.e:
public class SimpleScrollBarUI extends BasicScrollBarUI {
public static ComponentUI createUI(JComponent c) {
return new SimpleScrollBarUI();
}
//...
}
