A screenshot of Jewel, a bridge from Swing’s Darcula look-and-feel used in IntelliJ into the desktop Compose world

To be clear, that is a sample using the Toolbox theme, which I have just nuked in the repo (PR pending)

[seb]

The interesting Swing part happens in the :themes:intellij:idea module (it has its own demo thing)

[seb]

The bridge in particular lives here: https://github.com/JetBrains/jewel/blob/1a47d3783eccfe51aaeea444b221868323300bc1/t[…]j/idea/src/main/kotlin/org/jetbrains/jewel/theme/idea/Bridge.kt

Props to @Lamberto Basti

The one thing I’m looking forward to is a proper bridge for matching Swing fonts in the Compose world, and for getting the font that matches the OS default one in a cross-platform way.

Awesome, I did a poorly bridge my self, was really painful, did not know this exist.

Looking forward to replace my implementation for this one, nice work @seb @Lamberto Basti

[seb]

@Kirill Grouchnikov that is somewhat done already in the bridge/Skiko, but there are issues. I'm working on those!

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

Looks like there is no standalone demo for the Darcula theme, and it needs to be deployed as a plugin into an IntelliJ instance?

[seb]

@SrSouza if you want to contribute to the Jewel repo, we'd be very happy to deduplicate work 🙂 That repo has been there for a long time, they only recently made it public. We haven't announced anything since it's still very immature

[seb]

@Kirill Grouchnikov no, we simply haven't had time to prepare a cohesive demo thing for the IJ theme yet. You can run the samples one by one — I'll try to make a decent unified sample soon

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

You had me at ciao mamma

[seb]

That's Lamberto for you 😄

[seb]

🤌

[Casey Brooks]

Is this theme going to work with both the existing Intellij theme and the new one that was just released to beta?

[SrSouza]

There is open issue a about the New UI https://github.com/JetBrains/jewel/issues/15

[seb]

By yours truly 😄

[seb]

Yes we will support the new UI — in fact, I think I'll be focusing on that, given that by the time this is production ready enough we may want to just default to the new UI.
