No such thing. Linux is just a kernel, it doesn't have a look and feel. You might be after the GtkLookAndFeel, though. It's not distributes (AFAIK) with any JDK other than the Linux one, though you can probably get hold of it from somewhere. Or maybe the MotifLookAndFeel. Beyond that, it's just like setting any other look and feel, it's all in Teh Docs ?

Isn't it annoying that you have to call a method on UIManager, passing in the result of another method on the same class? Would it really be so hard for UIManager to also have a void useSystemLookAndFeel() method? *sigh* Sun and their funny ways

I think that UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName() returns class for defaultlook and feel installed on the system.

Well, yeh. It returns the FQN of the relevant class. But then you have to pass that back in to UIManager to install it. Poor design. You shouldn't have to inform a class about data you just asked it for!
