LookAndFeel in ALL apps false 2008-12-29 00:25:37 +0100

To set your favorite LAF in all Java apps, you can create a file swing.properties in your jre/lib1 folder with following contents:

swing.laf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel
swing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel

You can also set the _JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable to the following (or just specify these parameters upon the java-call):

-Dswing.laf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel

From now on you will see NimbusLookAndFeel in all Java applications which do not set a LAF on their own.

Available LookAndFeels as of 1.6:

  • com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel
  • com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel
  • com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel
  • com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel
  • javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicLookAndFeel
  • javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel
  • javax.swing.plaf.multi.MultiLookAndFeel
  • javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthLookAndFeel
