Question

I need to setup LookAndFeel Files in JDK 1.6. I have two files:

1. napkinlaf-swingset2.jar

2. napkinlaf.jar

How can I set this up and use it?

I would like a GTK look and feel OR Qt look and feel, Are they available?

The class name for Naplin is net.sourceforge.napkinlaf.NapkinLookAndFeel. So to set it as default on the command line, use:

java -Dswing.defaultlaf=net.sourceforge.napkinlaf.NapkinLookAndFeel

To install it add napkinlaf.jar to the lib/ext direction and the lines:

swing.installedlafs=napkin swing.installedlaf.napkin.name=Napkin swing.installedlaf.napkin.class=net.sourceforge.napkinlaf.NapkinLookAndFeel

to lib/swing.properties within your Java installation (you’ll probably have to create the file).

See the Napkin wiki page
