A style sheet that gives a particular look-and-feel. It is available as a starter style sheet.
thin client
(or light client or clientless) A thin client is a way of deploying a client/server application such that the client side is small, with no Java™ running on the client. Users require only a Web browser and an Internet connection. The user interface is executed within the browser with no local system administration and the business logic is executed on a remote server. See also rich client.
triple buffering
A rendering technique that uses three frame buffers instead of two as in double buffering. With two buffers, front and back, the front buffer is being displayed while the back buffer is being drawn. When the back buffer is ready, it has to wait until the current scan of the screen is finished before the buffers can be swapped. With three buffers, there is no waiting time. Triple buffering results in smoother animation, especially if the screen has a slow refresh rate. See also double buffering.
