THE CONTENT OF THIS PAGE IS OUTDATED

SEP AG has discontinued support for obsolete SEP sesam versions. Instructions are still available for these SEP sesam products, however, SEP AG accepts no responsibility or liability for any errors or inaccuracies in the instructions or for the incorrect operation of obsolete SEP sesam software. It is strongly recommended that you update your SEP sesam software to the latest version. For the latest version of SEP sesam documentation, see documentation home.

GUI Look and Feel

Before starting the GUI you can choose in which style you want it to be displayed. This can be done with the switch "-l" (edit this switch in the properties of the desktop icon of SEP sesam)

Up to now the following Look&Feel's are supported:

-l Metal
-l System
-l Mac
-l Windows
-l Motif
-l Kunststoff (eng. plastic)

Here we have to distinguish between whether it is a "CrossPlatformLookAndFeel" or a Native L&F.

Native L&F's are only working on platforms equivalent to the OS. So it makes no sense to use -l Windows under Linux or -l Mac under Windows.

The "CrossPlatform Versions" are working on every OS. At the moment: Motiv and Kunststoff.

The configuration -l System starts the standart appearance of the OS, which means -l System on Windows looks different than on Linux.

The appearance also depends on the Java version you are using.

Examples

Metal

Windows

Motif

Kunststoff
