How come setting look and feel not successful

class gameble{
public static void main(String argv[])throws Throwable{
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(
UIManager.getCrossPlatformLookAndFeelClassName());
} catch (Exception e) { }
console cs = new console();
cs.addWindowListener(new GenericWindowListener(cs.tv));
cs.setLocation(320,0);
cs.show();
with the above codes, i want java look&feel, but it still shows me window look & feel. need your help!!

CroosPlatformLookAndFeelClassName looks almost exactly like the java default look and feel.
You can try other L&F like:
try{
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
//this will take the look and feel of the OS you are working with
catch(Exception e){
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
or
try{
UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotiveLookAndFeel");
//this will take the look and feel of the Unix OS
catch(Exception e){
System.err.println(e.getMessage());

Problem setting look and feel

It seems like I'm not able to change the windows xp look and feel, I'm using this code to change it but nothing happens, the window comes out with windows LAF:
" public static void main(String[] args)
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel("javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel");
} catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e.getMessage()); }
new Ventana();
Maybe... Am I missing some code? or a specific class needs to be downloaded?
I'd apreciate any help

That was not the problem, but thank you...
I finally noticed the problem, what I was trying to do was actually done by writting this:
JComponent.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
Sets the OceanTheme feel on, but I noticed that when you try to use it with a Jdialog and a JFileChooser you get some ugly colors. Orange/Brown with JDialogs and Green with JFileChoosers. Is this a bug or it's ment to do that?
Does somebody know how to fix it?
Thanks for your support

You can use Conditional Formatting to produce stoplights in Report Studio.
If you know of specific things that you want to see, try reading the manual. I cannot give you details of every type of formatting you may want to see from such a vague post.

Custom Look and Feel Not showing up

I've created a new look and feel per the edocs and it's shaping up nicely but when I deploy it to the portal it's great as the default but when I go in to change the LNF as a user It's not an option... Do I need to add it to some random xml file or something for it to show... also is there any documentation with greater detail for look and feel development out there?
Thanks in advance

I don't know what the plan is for getting old Dev2Dev sample code on OTN (Oracle Technology Network).
I ran into the same problem yesterday. I needed a quick login portlet for a portal I was fiddling with.
I plucked the login.portlet from the 10.2 installation at <home>/wlserver_10.0/samples/portal/portalApp/contentPresenterSampleWeb/avitek/portlets/login
This sample is an example of using a backing file to handle the logic. The backing file for this portlet is in <home>/wlserver_10.0/samples/portal/portalApp/contentPresenterSampleWeb/WEB-INF/src/examples/visitortools

For a quick result, you can use Portal Templates with Portal Styles
For a better but slower result, you can write HTML templates (page skins), with your own CSS.
In both cases, you assign the template to the page. You can also use Portal Templates to mantain the structure of the pages, and Page Skins to change the look.

Setting Look and Feel in Netbeans 4.1

I'm trying to change my program's Look&Feel to the XP Look&Feel, but I can't find any way to change the post-init code for a JFrame. Surely this is possible, but the Code tab for JFrames is very limited and for the life of me I can't find any other way to customize the initialization of one.
How would one go about doing this?
Thanks,
Jick

Well, I managed to solve my own problem. For reference, I'll explain the process.
My searches involved looking through the NetBeans interface to change the proper implementation code, but this was actually not necessary. NetBeans' code is very strictly protected by its code-locking mechanism, but the right place to insert the code to change the UI is immediately before the initComponents() method call in your JFrame's constructor.
Example:
public class SmartMoverGUI extends javax.swing.JFrame {
public SmartMoverGUI() {
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
} catch(Exception e) {}
initComponents();
/* Rest of code below */
Hope this helps someone. :)

Can't set look and feel?

It's been a while since I've done GUIs. I thought I followed all the instructions, but I just keep getting windows defaults:
public class CVSCompare extends JFrame
public CVSCompare()
{ setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    setJMenuBar(stdMenuBar());
public static void main(String[] args)
    try
    { UIManager.setLookAndFeel(
        "javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel");
    } catch (Exception e) { }
    CVSCompare c = new CVSCompare();
    c.pack();
    c.show();
}

If there is a problem occuring when the L&F is set the following will show it......
try    {
    UIManager.setLookAndFeel( "javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel");
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}if this doesn't show anything then you must be setting the L&F somewhere else later on...

Customised look and feel for B2B/B2C web shop.

Dear experts,
I would like to find out if there is an admin page for SAP E-commerce to customise the look and feel of the webshop?
Thanks.
Wein

Hi Wein,
To change Look and Feel for Web shop is depends on scenario of eCommerce application i.e. B2B or B2C. B2B has different structure than B2C.
Web Channel application comes in SAP standard with SAP look and Feel. You have to change look and feel as per client requirement.
To change look and feel of Both B2B/B2C scenario you have to deal with files like CSS, JSP, Properties, XLF and some time you have to add your custom JAVA, JSP, CSS, Properties files etc...
To change standard SAP logo youhave to make change in CSS files. Also you have to consider Browser type while changing look and feel because to display your B2B/B2C application correctly in different browser you have to make changes in different CSS.
You will get better idea with example how to change look and feel in "Dev & Ext. Guide" for Web Shop. You will get this from Service Market place.

Windows XP Look and Feel

Hi,
When I use Windows XP style Look & Feel on Windows XP Title Bar and Scroll Bar disappears or the color is set to transparent.
I set Look and Feel using:
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
Even I run SwingSet2 on Windows XP and set the Look & Feel to Windows XP Style the result is the same.
Is there any recommendation about this?
Thanks...

How to change the default look and feel

Hi.
Does anyone knows how to change the default Caspian look and feel to, for example, Nimbus ?
Or the skin feature turns look and feel setting, as We know in java, unnecessary in javafx ?
I´m using javafx 1.2.
Cheers

Canspian is not a look&feel, it's a skin.
Look&feel only change the SwingComponent,

How to give BSP Iview look and feel of portal??

Hi All,
I've created a BSP application that I use to create an Iview for portal.
I thought that if i used htmlb tags that the look and feel of portal would be automatic to my app but its not.
I've tried assigning portal css classes to a html table but there's no effect.
I've previewed one of the standard ivews and viewed the source and found the path of the css file. But when i looked for it on the server, while the out folder was there (com.sap.portal.design.portaldesigndata) , there was no css files in this folder.
So i'm at a loss. In summary, how do i get my bsp app to have the portal look and feel????? I would prefer to use the css files so that if any changes are made to the standard, the changes will be reflected in my custom iviews too.
Any help, would be most welcome,
Liz.

Hi Liz,
on the properties tab for the BSP application try selecting the "Supports Portal Integration" checkbox.
Cheers

How does one goes on building an Icon with the 'Look and Feel' of an Icon?

Hello everybody, I work as a Graphic Designer for a company that is asking me to create an Icon for a software that we own, I am having trouble as to how do i go building one, I use Illustrator and Photoshop but I am not sure how to give the Icon the 'Look and Feel' of an Icon, the colors look a bit different and so the 'texture' of my vector image. If anyone can explain me or point me to a good website that explains how should I go on building an icon so it looks like an Icon that will be great. I thank you in advance for any reply that you can give me regarding the subject.

don't know what you mean by "look and fell of an icon". You could go to vectortuts.com - it has lots of tutorials on the creation of different icons. Also check hicksdesign.co.uk for their presentations on icon concepts

How to change the look and feel for Heading of quick launch menu in project server 2010

Hi

I want the header to be displayed in Bold with Underline to it.
could this be possible for just header in quick launch in project server 2010.

Hi Rohan
It does not work this way. You have to use a content editor webpart.
See references below that might help you starting with this customisation:

How to customize the title bar on my own Look And Feel?

Hi all!
I am creating my own Look and Feel which extends from NimbusLookAndFeel. What I'm doing is overwriting UIDefaults values??, referring to the Painters. For example:
+uiDefault.put ("Button [Enabled]", new ButtonEnabledPainter());+
But now I need is to customize the title bar of the JFrame's, but I do not see this option in Painter's values ??can be overwritten by Nimbus (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/lookandfeel/_nimbusDefaults . html).
You know as possible? I have to overwrite an existing UI component? The idea is I want to make the look and feel like SeaGlass, but the code seems a bit complex to know where to begin.
I hope you can guide me on this issue.
Thank you very much for everything! And excuse my English!.
