I think the request in the new description makes a lot of sense (though it probably would have been better as a new bug report).
The user should be able to change the default look and feel be editing something in /etc. There are already a number of java properties files in /etc/java-6-sun that allow manipulation of other configuration settings. As a work-around, I created /etc/java-6-sun/swing.properties with the swing.defaultlaf setting, and symlinked it to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/jre/lib. For anyone getting here via Google, the correct value for Nimbus is: com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel (beware though, it can cause Null Pointer Exceptions, see http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6800801) -- swing.properties should be in /etc, so the Java Look and Feel can be changed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/229112 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
