Modern Docking UI

Modern Docking UI is an extension to Modern Docking that changes png's to svg's for the Settings and Close icons using the FlatLaf library.

Initializing Modern Docking UI

Using our Hello World example, we can update it to initialize the Modern Docking UI like below, which is all that's required to use Modern Docking UI.

public static class MainFrame extends JFrame {
    public MainFrame() {
        setSize(400, 300);

        Docking.initialize(this);
        DockingUI.initialize();
        
        RootDockingPanel root = new RootDockingPanel(this);
        add(root, BorderLayout.CENTER);

        DockingPanel helloWorld = new DockingPanel("Hello World");

        Docking.dock(helloWorld, this);
    }
}
