Section 12.2 Java’s Nimbus Look-and-Feel
• As of Java SE 6 update 10, Java comes bundled with a new, elegant, cross-platform look-and-feel known as Nimbus (p. 476).
• To set Nimbus as the default for all Java applications, create a swing.properties text file in the lib folder of your JDK and JRE installation folders. Place the following line of code in the file:
swing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel
• To select Nimbus on an application-by-application basis, place the following command-line argument after the java command and before the application’s name when you run the application:
-Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel
