However, I’d rather override eclipse’s button as a whole, as I’d like to have it not highlight the whole button on mouseover, but rather simply swap the icon to a hover image (like what chrome and eclipse do).
In addition to this, I’d like to only include the close button on the currently selected item in a stack (like eclipse does). I presume this would be implemented in the LocationManager or something.
I’ve included a simplified version of my code below.
Thanks!
-nate
editorFrame = new JFrame();
setRootPane(editorFrame.getRootPane());
mainControl = new CControl(editorFrame);
mainControl.addSingleDockableFactory(myDockableFactory,myDockableFactory);
editorFrame.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 1));
editorFrame.add(mainControl.getContentArea());
CControlPerspective controlPerspectives = mainControl.getPerspectives();
CPerspective perspective = controlPerspectives.createEmptyPerspective();
CGridPerspective center = perspective.getContentArea().getCenter();
//add a bunch of stacks and tools... simplified down to one.
CStackPerspective stack = new CStackPerspective();
stack.add(new SingleCDockablePerspective("tool"));
center.grid().addDockable(0,0,100,100,stack);
controlPerspectives.setPerspective("main", perspective);
mainControl.load("main");
mainControl.setTheme(ThemeMap.KEY_ECLIPSE_THEME);
mainControl.getIcons().setIconClient(CLOSE_BUTTON_ICON_KEY, SystemEditorIconFactory.getEditorIcon(IconType.VIEW_CLOSE));
editorFrame.setBounds(0, 0, 500, 400);
mainControl.readXML("prefs.xml");
I’m currently updating the framework to support your ideas. The code that follows will only work with the next version, 1.1.2p8. It allows you to hide the close action if a tab is not selected.
[edit: I won’t add support for showing the action when hovering over the tab, I simply do not have enough time to do that right now.]
Answers to the other questions will follow, but the update of the framework must wait (I certainly have it online on Monday).
This code is written with the “docking-frames-demo-tutorial.jar” in the class-path.

I’ve uploaded a new version (1.1.2p8). Download the source, and search for a class called „EclipseLikeCloseButtonExample“ (it is in the tutorials project). This class should show you everything you need to know for modifying the close button
