NetBeans vs JRE - the look of my GUI
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but here goes.
I'm just getting started and have been going through the Netbeans tutorials on using the IDE to build a GUI. I like the look of the GUI when I preview in the IDE application. When I run the program, however the GUI has a different background color and the components look older. I don't care for the look. Why does the GUI look one way in the IDE and another when I execute the program? How can I update the JRE or whatever is causing my GUI to look like an older version of the componenets?
TIA

Ok...a few more details. I'm running Windows XP. When I preview the GUI in the Netbeans IDE I get Windows style components (buttons and such). When I build and run the application I get different style components. The buttons are larger and square, instead of round cornered. The default background color in the IDE is beige while when the application is run it is kind of a steel grey.
Does anyone know why they are different? I prefer the look of the GUI in the Netbeans IDE previewer.
Should I be asking this question on a different forum?
Thanks.
I would look at a Netbeans forum or website.I am guessing that whatever preview netbeans gives you, it is not running the code.Again this forum is for Java, not Netbeans.
