i tried what u told me (had to catch a few would be exceptions):
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (InstantiationException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
but for some reason only a few components have the windows look and feel, the rest have the java look and feel. do u know why this could be?
