Introduction

  • The J7Z GUI can be customised via downloadable Java "Look and Feel" skins.
  • Plenty of these are available from various websites, some of which are listed below.
  • J7Z can also adopt the system theme, even when run in Linux via Gnome/KDE/Xfce.

KDE

  • KDE v4 users will be pleased to know that J7Z can adopt their desktop theme.
  • They just need to install the GTK-KDE4 application and choose 'KDE' from its style list.
  • The 'Oxygen' theme looks better if Oxygen-GTK is installed and chosen from the list instead.
  • Once that's done, the "GTK+" skin must be chosen from within J7Z's 'Settings' dialog.

Installation

  • Simply download each desired skin's ".jar" (Java Archive) file to J7Z's 'Lib' folder.
  • If a common skins folder exists elsewhere, add its full path to J7Z's "Lib-Dirs" file via the 'External' menu.
  • After restarting J7Z, the new skin and any styles (themes) it provides will be listed in the 'Settings' dialog.

Skins

  • The following skins are of decent or good quality in my opinion.
  • Some of them are not free software, so read their licenses carefully.
  • Let me know if you find other good skins and I'll add them to the list.

Decent

Good
