Java Swing, 2nd Edition

Appendix A. Look-and-Feel Resources

Table A-1 shows a complete list of the component UI resources (with the resource name and its expected value type) defined by BasicLookAndFeel. Application-wide changes can be made to these properties using UIManager.put( ) . For example, the following line would cause all JButtons instantiated after this call to be created with a background color of black:

UIManager.put("Button.background", Color.black);

Alternately, a custom L&F typically defines values for many of these properties in its initComponentDefaults( ) method. In this case, most resource values should be tagged as UIResources. For more information, see Chapter 26.
