I need your help in making an ugly windows app look good on the Mac.
I am part of team developing this monstrous java application for the
company I work for. Many forms, many input fields in the forms - the
usual windowz mess (of course the company doesn't even care wether
their app runs on OS X or not... not yet anyway!!....)
This is a spring rich client application, and the LookAndFeel
configuration is done through a class that implements the
InitializingBean interface and is injected in the configuration bean.
I made a few adaptations for the mac - managed to select the Aqua
Look And Feel, put the main menu on the apple menu bar, but even
though the application took the Aqua aspect, it still doesn't look good.
To try to accommodate all those input fields in the forms, I further
set the Label font with a reduced font size and I reduced the font
size of all input items as well.
But... When I run the app on my mac, the forms still look even bigger
than they do on windows. The text fields are large. They don't seem
to shrink after I reduced the font size.
Thank you very much for reading. Any pointers will be most welcome.
Sincerely
Carlos
