(8/211) 2722 - Dockable-Buttons don't change look if hovered with the mouse

The Dockable-Buttons don't change look if they are
hovered by the mouse like the close- and arrow-
buttons in the docking areas do.

Sorry if this is a dupe, but I have many bugs to post
and am too lazy to check them all for dupes
currently. :-)

OS: Windows XP
Java Version: Sun Java 1.5.0_09-b03
jEdit Version: 4.3pre8

2008-03-06 19:59:30 rschwenn	Logged In: YES user_id=1486645 Originator: NO The hover behavior of the buttons for the docked dockables and the corresponding close and arrow buttons depends on the L&F: Dockable buttons change look in: Metal, Windows Close and arrow buttons change look in: Windows "Motiv" and "Windows classic" don't change the look of any component on hovering. Could it be, that this is no bug?
2008-03-07 08:25:19 vampire0	Logged In: YES user_id=918212 Originator: YES I don't think so Robert, as for me I use Metal L&F, but it is quite the other way around than you describe. The close and arrow button get a blue border on hovering and the dockable buttons don't change their look. However, it can be because of the L&F, because the close and arrow button are JButtons and the dockable butttons are JToggleButtons. But still I think this is a useability bug. Maybe we have to user another kind of button. What I think even more cool would be an own jEdit L&F, but this would be much work. \g\

2011-11-08 22:42:25 ezust	in linux, in both nimbus and metal L&Fs, I do see hover effects under java 1.6. I think this issue is with specific L&Fs but not the default ones. Perhaps a bug should be filed for the L&F rather than core?

2011-12-01 02:46:58 vampire0	You didn't really read the comments, did you? This is on Metal under Windows and Linux here. No fancy L&F in use.

2011-12-01 02:58:59 ezust	what comments? The original ones are about Java 1.5. My reply was about Java 1.6, where it appears to have been fixed. Are you still seeing the problem with java 1.6?
2011-12-01 03:07:55 vampire0	Sure, otherwise I wouldn't have reopened the tracker item. You suspected an exotic L&F. That was where I thought you didn't read the comments as they just speak about standard L&Fs. ;-)

After quite a bit of research, it appears the rollover effect for JToggleButtons is not implemented in Metal unless the button is in a toolbar. Metal checks if the parent is a JToolBar, and only then will the rollover effect be visible. So I fixed this in revision 24879 by adding a RolloverToggleButton, similar to the already existing RolloverButton. I tested with Metal, Nimbus, and Substance, all look okay, but the buttons don't really look like the standard Metal buttons with the Ocean (default) theme. Another solution would be to use a JToolbar for the dockable buttons, but that seems like overkill since this appears to only affect the Metal Look and Feel. I could also do a check to see if the look and feel is Metal, and only use the RolloverToggleButtons if so.
