GUI Needed...

[toolshed]

Anyone know of a good jogl based gui library that would work with WWJ?

I've heard of FengGUI (https://fenggui.dev.java.net/), which looks like what you're looking for, but I never used it, only browsed the screenshots of their web site...

But if you can use the WorldWindCanvas inside a regular Swing container, why wouldn't you want to use Swing for your UI ?

What do you have in mind for your specific UI ?

Chiss!

Because SWING is not very pretty. You can also use Eclipse RCP(SWT) via the eclipse plugin framework.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... ;)

I agree that the default Look and Feel of Swing is not the prettiest around (Metal or Ocean, depending on your JRE version), but there are plenty of nice looking pluggable look and feels out there... Have a look at JGoodies' Looks (http://www.jgoodies.com/freeware/looks/) from Karsten Lentzsch or Substance (https://substance.dev.java.net/)from Kirill Grouchnikov...

But I don't want to start an argument about that here ;) ...

My canvas is fullscreen, so my UI needs to sit in/over the canvas area. I would love to use Swing (my modified lafs look great), but being lightweight, it will not render over the canvas.

What do you have in mind for your specific UI ?

Here is a preview of what I'm after...

Wow this is a nice gui you are looking for, like in some video games. Hope you will find your way.

Thanks. Those are part of our Swing GUI library. When the WorldWindowGLJPanel is functional, I will be able to place these GUIs over the Panel. In the meantime I am looking at the FengGUI library to use as a temporary placeholder.

Any major luck with FengGUI?
