Friday Fun Component III

Man that was a busy week...due to the lack of time this week's fun component will be also a little bit smaller...
Which doesn't mean that it wasn't fun...

Every morning when i switch on my magic mouse i see this little switch on the back of the magic mouse. The button is small, it shows it's state in a clean understandable way and it doesn't need some led to visualize it, just a simple green colored background if the mouse is switched on...perfect.


For those of you that don't know what i'm talking about...here it is...

I liked it so much that i decided to create a little swing component that looks like that (or similar to that)...

And here we go...

CHECKBOX.setRised(false);     (standard)

CHECKBOX.setRised(true);

So the rised property only changes the look of the colored area so that it looked "sunken" as the default and "rised" if you set rised to true;

You will find all the colors i defined in the SteelSeries lib also here in the component but if you like you could add your own colors by editing the values in the eu.hansolo.tools.ColorDef class.


Here is a little screenshot of all the available colors in "sunk" and "rise" state:

These colors are only visible if you set the colored property to true, otherwise the selected state will always look like the gray version with rised == true.


So if you like it, please find the source and the binary here:

That's it for today...enjoy the upcoming weekend...
