SwingLabs FX Module
I just creaed a new FX module for the SwingLabs project. I explain everything on java.net. You won't be really surprised by the demo but the code is much more reusable now.
More Synth Subtleties
Quique asked, in the previous story, why the following style doesn't style JTrees properly: <style id=”tree”> <imageIcon id=”treeCollapsedIcon” path=”/resources/img/synth/collapsed.png” /> <property key=”Tree.collapsedIcon” value=”treeCollapsedIcon” /> <imageIcon id=”treeExpandedIcon” path=”/resources/img/synth/expanded.png” /> <property key=”Tree.expandedIcon” value=”treeExpandedIcon” /> <imageIcon id=”treeLeafIcon” path=”/resources/img/synth/leaf.png” /> <property key=”Tree.leafIcon” value=”treeLeafIcon” /> <imageIcon id=”treeOpenIcon” path=”/resources/img/synth/open.png” /> <property key=”Tree.openIcon” value=”treeOpenIcon” /> <imageIcon id=”treeClosedIcon” path=”/resources/img/synth/closed.png” /> <property key=”Tree.closedIcon” value=”treeClosedIcon” [...]

Blown Away (Swing Demo)
You can run the WebStart demo or, as usual, download its source code. Before going any further, note this is not the promised demo I was talking about a few days ago. I swear this one is almost ready ^^ Adobe Photoshop provides an excellent feature I couldn't live without, at least on my 1024×768 [...]
Digital Photography on the Go
MacDevCenter.com just published an article I wrote about building a hands-free shooting rig. It basically lets you take picture by saying Take shot in a wireless microphone. It works with MacOS X and an iSight but I give clues on how to use it with a digital camera. I also suggest using a Bluetooth cell [...]
