Hi;o), I tried to play with a Keymap panel a little to make it little easier to use and friendly. I will send you the patch and the other files. Changes made: - added "etched border" to the SW keyboard, so that it is more separated from the background [1] - centered text in the "..." button by the action's shortcut (looks slightly better, but not too much) - set "ContentAreaFilled" to false - otherwise the "..." button looks bad on Nimbus/GTK l&f (text "..." overlaps the button drawn inside) [2] - added state to the button showing the SW keyboard - now you can use it to show AND hide the SW keyboard [3] - redesigned the icon for the "..." button (actually 2 icons are needed now due to above mentioned state addition)
Created attachment 76669 [details] Patch
Created attachment 76670 [details] Icon - SW keyboard hidden
Created attachment 76672 [details] Icon - SW keyboard shown
Created attachment 76674 [details] [1] No border is drawn around the SW keyboard
Created attachment 76675 [details] [2] Nimbus before
Created attachment 76676 [details] [2] Nimbus after (m aybe a color change is appropriate?)
Created attachment 76677 [details] [3] You can show and hide the SW keyboard (the button allows two states)
Just a note: I am not the best swing programmer, so I believe somewhere should be some code "SwingUtilities.invokeLater" or so... When you click the "<" button for the first time, "..." flashes there for a fraction of the second and then the icon is correctly set to "V"...
OK, I'll have a look.
