Within my Main class, within it’s main method, I have this code:
LogRegGUI mainMenu = new LogRegGUI();
mainMenu.setVisible(true);
LogRegGUI constructor:
public LogRegGUI() {
initComponents();
}
LogRegGUI is my GUI class. My GUI displays perfectly when I right click the class and select Run.
When I run my whole program, and main is invoked, the GUI format is slightly incorrect (colour mismatch and buttons are not displayed correctly).
What am I doing wrong?
Extra info:
Netbeans 7.3 Beta 2
Mac OS X Mountain Lion
Java Swing
LogRegGUI code:
package com.john.spp.view;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class LogRegGUI extends javax.swing.JFrame {
/**
* Creates new form LoginGUI
*/
public LogRegGUI() {
initComponents();
}
/**
* This method is called from within the constructor to initialize the form.
* WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The content of this method is always

Again just a guess, but does the other code base that tries to display your LogRegGUI GUI also use the Nimbus look and feel? Is the look and feel set before creating any GUI components in that class as well? That’s my guess as to your problem.
