Swing
LOOKANDFEEL
|
|
- The
LOOKANDFEEL Command:
- Swing uses a Pluggable Look and Feel (PLAF) that allows a program to change how
the graphics appear and behave.
- Swing's PLAF concept allows the look and feel to be changed at runtime
without modifying any of the code.
- The
LOOKANDFEEL command is used to change the look and feel.
- The
LOOKANDFEEL command takes in the name of the PLAF to use.
- Calling
LOOKANDFEEL with no arguments lists all of the look and
feels available on the local system.
- Note: Some PLAFs are available on all platforms (e.g. "Metal"
or "CDE/Motif"), but some are not (e.g. "Windows").
Don't Make This Mistake: |
The look and feel setting is a global one and should be set prior
to bringing up any graphics. Changing the look and feel after graphics are up
may have unpredictable results.
