I think the JVM defaults to motif, it's supported on most platforms. I found this on the web: <start-quote> Yes, it is possible. In the ~/java/lib dir, create / edit a file with name swing.proprierties: Change the line: swing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.CURRENTLO OKANDFEEL to swing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLo okAndFeel </end-quote> Don't know if it works though? -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
