Appendix A. Look & Feel Resources

Table 1.1 shows a complete list of the component UI resources (showing the resource name and its expected value type) defined by the 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 look-and-feel 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.
