| == How can I set the Swing look and feel on startup? |
| |
| Generally, you can change the look and feel either by passing command line arguments, e.g. ``netbeans --laf javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel`` |
| or do so programmatically on startup in a module's `link:DevFaqModulesGeneral.asciidoc[ModuleInstall]` class. Generally if you're installing a custom look and feel, you probably want to have a separate module to do that. Some look and feels provide NetBeans modules to make it easy to use them. |
| |
| If you want to test running with a different look and feel during development of your application, and you know it will be on the application's classpath, see the example in link:HowToPassCommandLineArgumentsToANetBeansPlatformApplicationWhenRunInsideTheIDE.asciidoc[HowToPassCommandLineArgumentsToANetBeansPlatformApplicationWhenRunInsideTheIDE] for how to include `--laf` in the runtime arguments to your module suite. |
