Description

This package contains source code and project files for an example of how to change the look-and-feel for a Swing application among the various PLAF's available on the system. Note that runtime changing of a Java application's Look-And-Feel is not recommended by Sun. This sample is intended to illustrate how to set a look-and-feel on your application, which typically should be done once during initialization. The simplest way of doing this is using swing.properties as illustrated in Technical Q&A 1059. This sample is intended for Java development on Mac OS X.
