Custom SettingsDialog

Troubleshooting General Help
1

Hello,

i would like to customize SettingsDialog

is it possible (meant to be) ? like overriding it or rewriting a custom class , is it possible to register it some way to be used by the application

or is it simpler to create a standalone launcher as a separate app ?

thx

Sure, just make your dialog and then set the application settings directly. Most complicated thing will probably be presenting a list of resolutions and frequencies that is actually compatible with the computer that the app is being run on. If you don’t the renderer will fail to start. The settings dialog uses the swing Display system for that.

I did some changes on the settings dialog recently and did look at this but unfortunately it’s really not set up to be “plugable” and it would have needed more extensive changes than I was comfortable with making.

Just turn the jme one off completely and do your own - either based off the standard one or not.

yes i get some errors when i try to set the display fullscreen with 32 bit resolution
although my windows desktop is able to go up to 32 bits

i think it is a lwjgl issue or something

the code to check for avail resolutions if anyone is interested:

        GraphicsDevice device = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getDefaultScreenDevice();
        DisplayMode[] modes = device.getDisplayModes();
        
       for(int m=0;m&lt;modes.length;m++)
            System.out.println(m+" : "+modes[m].getWidth()+"x"+modes[m].getHeight()+"x"+modes[m].getBitDepth()+"@"+modes[m].getRefreshRate());
       ...
       org.lwjgl.opengl.DisplayMode mo = Display.getDesktopDisplayMode();
       ...

thx
