[SOLVED] Material Editor

Troubleshooting SDK
1

Hey everybody,



I’m having an issue with the material editor, if that’s what it’s called.

When I open a .j3m file I’m getting the screen with all the options to tweak the material.

Though I think there should be checkboxes under the options tab, which I seem to be missing.



Here is a screenshot of what I mean. There are these gray boxes after the options, but I can’t interact with them.

My assumption for there to be checkboxes came after watching this video:

I’m using Ubuntu 11.10 on a Mac mini.

I’ve tried using different java SDKs and I’ve also tried to use different gtk+ theme’s. But that didn’t change a thing.



Thanks in advance :smiley:

Change the look and feel using the --laf command line option.

Thank You!! that worked perfectly, to clearify for other users (on ubuntu) with this problem.

Start jmonkeyplaftorm as follows:



./jmonkeyplatform --laf (complete class path of the look and feel)



for example:



Metal

./jmonkeyplatform --laf javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel



Motif

./jmonkeyplatform --laf com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel



Nimbus and GTK+ didn’t seem to work.



These are standard in java 1.6

There are also custom lookandfeel project which you can try with the following command:



./jmonkeyplatform --laf (complete class path of the look and feel) -cp:p (path to the jar file, of the look and feel)



For example:



./jmonkeyplatform --laf com.birosoft.liquid.LiquidLookAndFeel -cp:p /home/Ertyui/Local_Apps/Java_LAFs/liquidlnf.jar



Hope it helps :slight_smile:



Thanks again :smiley:

Edit: P.s. Why does this forum makes a double - into one long -?

It messes up the examples.
