I'm using an app with JSliders and setting the look and feel to platform default. Now I'm trying to set the slider's thumb size using this code:

UIManager.put("Slider.thumbHeight",5);
UIManager.put("Slider.thumbWidth",20);

but their size remains unchanged. I've also tried this:

UIManager.getDefaults().put("Slider.thumbHeight",5);
UIManager.getDefaults().put("Slider.thumbWidth",20);

same result, the thumb on the slider remains the default size. I've also calling that before/after setting the style but there was no difference.

what is the outcome if you don't use ui manager ? – Kick Buttowski Sep 22 '14 at 21:57
there's the default slider style, but it's not changed at all... – Sep 22 '14 at 22:00
what happened you just do like? Jslider js = newbJSlider() and do the rest. no ui manager at all? – Kick Buttowski Sep 22 '14 at 22:02
there's just the basic JSlider, but since the rest of the app is in the system default look and feel it stands out by a lot. – Sep 22 '14 at 22:16
