To set your favorite LAF in all Java apps, you can create a file `swing.properties` in your `jre/lib`[^1] 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.
|
|
|
|
