Vista skin l&f

Question

is there anywhere on the web free vista look and feel theme pack for java?

Answer 1

If you use SWT it has a native vista look and feel built in. However, if you are using swing I honestly do not know.

Answer 2

I'm guessing that what you want is to use the system look and feel regardless on whatever platform your application is started. This can be done with

UIManager.setLookAndFeel( UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName() );

on the main() method (you have to handle possible exceptions of course ;-).

As I don't have a vista installation here I can't check whether the jvm natively supports the vista laf...

edit: Seems to be possible with the above statement. See this thread in the java forums:
