[Java] My Swing component's style is changed!

[UnknownSoldier]

Hi again It’s appened a strange thing… my swing component’s style on all java application is changed! I had tried to install JRE from sun.com and change options from Java panel but the style it’s always different… example: http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/715/screen1lg1.png

How can I restore the default style of java application?

This is normally handled in code by the developer, who if they are nice to end users will let them choose a ‘look and feel’ via a menu, rather than just using the default.
However, you can also try setting if from the command line when starting a Java app, with something like:
java -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel MyApp
This doesn’t always work (depends on app) and there is a way of putting this into a file for the JRE to always use.
HTH

The problem is that this style appears in every java application, in my applications too… o_O

Ok, have a look here there is some info from Sun about changing the file which Java apps use to pick the ‘look and feel’ to use.
