Class UIManager

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--javax.swing.UIManager

---

public class UIManager

extends Object

implements Serializable

This class keeps track of the current look and feel and its defaults.

We manage three levels of defaults: user defaults, look and feel defaults, system defaults. A call to UIManager.get() checks all three levels in order and returns the first non-null value for a key, if any. A call to UIManager.put() just affects the user defaults. Note that a call to setLookAndFeel() doesn't affect the user defaults, it just replaces the middle defaults "level".

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. A future release of Swing will provide support for long term persistence.

Constructor Detail

UIManager

public UIManager()

Method Detail

getInstalledLookAndFeels

public static UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo[] getInstalledLookAndFeels()

Return an array of objects that provide some information about the LookAndFeel implementations that have been installed with this java development kit. The LookAndFeel info objects can be used by an application to construct a menu of look and feel options for the user or to set the look and feel at start up time. Note that we do not return the LookAndFeel classes themselves here to avoid the cost of unnecessarily loading them.

Given a LookAndFeelInfo object one can set the current look and feel like this:

 UIManager.setLookAndFeel(info.getClassName());

setLookAndFeel(javax.swing.LookAndFeel)

setInstalledLookAndFeels

public static void setInstalledLookAndFeels(UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo[] infos)
                                     throws SecurityException

Replaces the current array of installed LookAndFeelInfos.

installLookAndFeel

public static void installLookAndFeel(UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo info)
