custom GUI (Synth XML file) Question

Ok i guess this is more of a question then a problem.

I have begun using a SYNTH look and feel method that reads a XML file and sets the design according to that.

method for setting look and feel of GUI:

Code :

---

private static void initLookAndFeel() {
		   SynthLookAndFeel lookAndFeel = new SynthLookAndFeel();
 
		   // SynthLookAndFeel load() method throws a checked exception
		   // (java.text.ParseException) so it must be handled
		   try {
		      lookAndFeel.load(gmeLogin.class.getResourceAsStream("synth.xml"), gmeLogin.class);
		      UIManager.setLookAndFeel(lookAndFeel);
		   } 
 
		   catch (Exception e) {
		      e.printStackTrace();
		   }
		}

Synth xml segment:

Code :

---

<style id="scrollbar">
    <insets top="4" left="6" bottom="4" right="6"/>
    <state>
       <font name="Verdana" size="14"/>
       <color value="#000000" type="BACKGROUND"/>       
       <color value="#ffa500" type="TEXT_FOREGROUND"/>
    </state>
    <imagePainter method="scrollbarBorder" path="images/panel.png"
                  sourceInsets="4 6 4 6" paintCenter="true"/>
  </style>
  <bind style="scrollbar" type="region" key="ScrollBar"/>

I guess my question is.. im setting the actual border of the JScrollBar here.. What about setting the Thumb and the arrow buttons.. what <state> would i have to add.. as buttons are classified like this:

Code :

---

<style id="button">
  	<!-- Shift the text one pixel when pressed -->
    <property key="Button.textShiftOffset" type="integer" value="1"/>
	  <!-- set size of buttons -->
	  <insets top="15" left="20" bottom="15" right="20"/>
    <state>
	    <imagePainter method="buttonBackground" path="images/button.png"
	                  sourceInsets="10 10 10 10" />
	    <font name="Dialog" size="16"/>
	    <color type="TEXT_FOREGROUND" value="#FFFFFF"/>
    </state>
 
	  <state value="PRESSED"> 
	    <imagePainter method="buttonBackground"
		         path="images/button_press.png"
	                  sourceInsets="10 10 10 10" />
	  </state>
 
    <state value="MOUSE_OVER">    
	    <imagePainter method="buttonBackground"
		         path="images/button_over.png"
	                 sourceInsets="10 10 10 10" />
	  </state>
  </style>
  <bind style="button" type="region" key="Button"/>

This is a picture of my current program (applet):

Attachment 872

Now instead of using this code in the XML file:

Code :

---

<imagePainter method="scrollbarBorder" path="images/panel.png"

---

What is the correct term for the thumb.. as i know Border in the method= will not obviously set the graphic..

Could somebody please refer me to a tutorial for the XML file synth look out available method lists or something similar etc..

Thanks.

Conclusion: I'd like to set a custom THUMB & arrow graphics for the JScrollBar ive already set the borders and so on of most of the program. Tutorial or general idea would be great

Thanks...

hmm... nobody?
