Title Bar

Purpose

This extension provides developers with the ULCTitleBar component that allows creation of fancy labels including color gradients and background images. A ULCTitleBar can also be used as a renderer component (e.g. for ULCTable, ULCTree, ULCList, ...)

ULCTitleBar

How to use

The following shows a sample use of the ULCTitleBar component: 

...

ULCTitleBar colorGradientTitleBar = new ULCTitleBar("My Title");
colorGradientTitleBar.setBarColor(Color.red);                   // red background
colorGradientTitleBar.setShadeColor(Color.yellow);              // yellow shade color
colorGradientTitleBar.setGradientAlignment(ULCTitleBar.LEFT);
colorGradientTitleBar.setGradientWidth(250);
ULCTitleBar backgroundImageTitleBar = new ULCTitleBar("My Title");
backgroundImageTitleBar.setBackgroundImage(...);                // background image
backgroundImageTitleBar.setRepeatBackgroundImage(true);
...

How it is implemented

The ULCTitleBar extends the standard ULCLabel and uses a special JTitleBar Swing component on the client-side.
