No, unfortunately not. I also tried ~/.java and /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.06/ but it's just ignored. Thanks anyway! signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I found this on the web: Yes, it is possible. In the ~/java/lib dir, create / edit a file with name swing.proprierties: Change the line: swing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.CURRENTLO OKANDFEEL to swing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLo okAndFeel Don't know if it works though? -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Java default Swing stile
Hi list! I've recently started both programming and using some Java applications (not that I would have a choice ...). Well, anyway, as it seems the default style for Swing is set to "Metal", Java's own rather ugly and non-conforming variant. Is there a way to set this to GTK, QT or whatever I have here other than through the functionality in the programs themeselve? Or is it really the Java-VM who's dictating what's the default for a given platform (Windows/Linux)? Thanks in advance! Florian Philipp signature.asc Description: PGP signature
