To set your favorite LAF in all Java apps, you can create a file swing.properties in your jre/lib1 folder with following contents:

swing.laf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel
swing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel

You can also set the _JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable to the following (or just specify these parameters upon the java-call):

-Dswing.laf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel

From now on you will see NimbusLookAndFeel in all Java applications which do not set a LAF on their own.

  • com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel
