| === 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.<pre> |
| netbeans --laf javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel |
| </pre> |
| 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; link:http://substance-netbeans.dev.java.net[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:DevFaqPassCommandLineArgumentsAtDevTime.asciidoc[DevFaqPassCommandLineArgumentsAtDevTime] for how to include `--laf` in the runtime arguments to your module suite. |
