Lately, client side Java applications have been reborn and it’s not only because of the new applet plugin and JavaFX. Books (Filthy Rich Clients by Chet Haase and Romain Guy is an exceptional good book and should be considered a must have bible) are being written and a lot of blogs (Kirill, Joshua) have been started lately, all of them focusing on Java graphics.
So why are all backgrounds still static? I don’t want a static background I want som nicely animated, yet subtle, background in my application. I’m not saying it’s right I’m merely saying that I want to know what it looks like.
So I’m going to post a series of articles showing you what I’m doing, what it looks like and how it’s done. Since JavaFX beta was released just a couple of days ago I’m gonna do the application in both JavaFX and good old plain Swing. That’s it, I guess all that’s left is to do it.
