Synopsis Windows 95 JFileChooser appearance issues
Category java:classes_swing
Reported Against swing1.0.2
Release Fixed
State 11-Closed, duplicate of 4290709, request for enhancement

Description




Showing a JFileChooser in Windows 95 does not look
like most file choosers in a few of ways.

1. Selected files and directories are not
highlighted properly. Instead of just highlighting
the name, the entire line is highlighted. This
occurs for directories under "Look in:" and the
panel listing all files and directories.

2. The "File name:" label should be centered
vertically.

3. The ComboBox next to "Files of type:" tends to
get expanded upward when selected. They should get
expanded downward. This is probably due to the
ComboBox implementation.

4. The default tooltips for the open, cancel,
and save buttons have periods. Tooltips generally
do not have periods.

On swing beta 3 on windows, the layout manager does a poor job of handling the
file name and file type fields.  They are too tall and get even taller if the
dialog is resized.

All these points make it very difficult for me to think about shipping an app
using JFileChooser as it looks quite frankly amateur.
