Custom TitlePaneButtonsProvider Broke Alt Key Tooltips?

[MichaelWDenney]

We created a custom TitlePaneButtonsProvider in order to customize the iconfy/maximize/restore/close buttons. After the change, it has been noticed that the ribbons Alt key tooltips are no longer appearing. The Alt functionality still works if you know what keys to press. There is just no tooltips. Commenting out:

SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this.getRootPane());

brings the tooltips back. What have we done wrong?

Can you try 467eb0c in your local copy? This works for me in the main ribbon demo. Note that it doesn't have an explicit updateComponentTreeUI in it, as Radiance title pane get notified internally by a property change listener wired by Radiance.

Tested the fixes in #533 after migration to 8.0. Able to use a custom TitlePaneButtonsProvider and maintain Alt key tooltip support. Note that it is still necessary to call:

SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this.getRootPane());

after setting the new TitlePaneButtonsProvider to ensure changes are reflected correctly in both the System menu and the control buttons.

I was wondering if support could be added for to the TitlePaneButtonsProvider for positioning of the control buttons. I see there is already something in place in the RadianceTitlePane for left-to-right/right-to-left support, but I want to be able to change the positioning of the control button without changing the orientation and impacting anything else. Admittedly, this is to support moving the control buttons to the right to better match Mac styles, and I know you said you avoid OS specific support, but this could be implemented generically.

See RadianceThemingCortex.GlobalScope.configureTitleContentGravity and its usage in the demo app via RadianceTitlePaneGravitySelector combobox.

Ah, cool. But, the "Force macOS" settings result in the control buttons on the left in the order Close, Maximize, Minimize whereas Mac standard is Close, Minimize, Maximize.

[kirill-grouchnikov]

Correct, and no plans to match OS-specific order of buttons within that button group on any particular platform.
