How would I use TinyLAF to change the font inside the edit macro window to a monospaced font? I don't want it to change anywhere else.

- edit - Never mind, I finally figured out I just have to double click the tinylaf.jar inside /lib and save it to the base maptool folder. I downloaded TinyLAF from their website and was trying to use that. Maptool can't use the latest version I guess.

Here's the TinyLAF Default.theme that will make any JTextArea field use Courier New as a monospaced font. This includes any text fields in frames, dialogs, and input windows, but most importantly (at least for me) the macro edit window. All other fonts remain the same as the default: Tahoma. Just rename it to Default.theme instead of Default.zip and as far as I know, put it in your MapTool directory where you have the exe launcher and the maptool*.jar

I like it.

Nice!



AHA! You can use the look-and-feel thing to deal with the excessively wide margins on the buttons, too (an issue people have run into is that by default, there's a 12-pixel left and right margin on buttons. This makes buttons on HTML frames/dialogs sometimes a lot wider than they need to be).

Too bad we can't access those buttons directly in maptool.

Hm? You mean manipulating the Jbuttons in frames and stuff?

Note that there are only a few fonts that are portable and they are the generically named ones, so if you need/want to use the same theme in different locales choose a font like SansSerifMono (or whatever it's called). Using specific fonts makes your theme less portable since other people may not have that particular font installed.

If courier new isn't a universal font... haha.

Heh-heh. There a term for that kind of thinking, y'know.

Wow, I think you win the Geekiest Reference of the Year award for programming.

Congratulations

"I just wanna thank a few of the special people in my life. First, my mother for not buying me a computer when I was a kid. Her attitude motivated me to save my lawn mowing money and buy a computer myself -- it certainly gave me incentive to spend every last second I could on the computer in order to get enough value for my hard-earned dollar.

"Next, I want to thank my younger sisters. They were so obnoxious that once again, I spent as much time away from them as possible and where better to spend it than programming on a computer?

"Last, I want to thank those women who, in my adult life, provided me with an intense need for cash. Without you I never would've pursued a career that turned out so lucrative once I was able to get you off my back and out of my life permanently.

"A big 'thank you' goes out to all of them!"

Just a little bump for anyone new.

That really is cool. I'm going to add this post as a link from my blog post about LaF and Window controls

I really like it. It's so much easier to edit macros inside maptool.
