Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
The GTK L&F has a few known issues and is not enabled by default. Please see bug #183139. You might try adding those properties to either /etc/java-7-openjdk/swing.properties /etc/java-8-openjdk/swing.properties, one per line without the "-D", as in: awt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on swing.aatext=true swing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel swing.crossplatformlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel Be aware that the application you are trying to run might override those settings on its own, if so that would require you to edit the application configuration files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1581835 Title: Native Look and Feel for Swing does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-7/+bug/1581835/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
