Is it possible to update for example all JTextField components in existing application to show rendered text (or not rendered) while setting and later changing system properties? All JTextField components are initiated just once.

System properties are set like that:

System.setProperty("awt.useSystemAAFontSettings", "on");
//Now we need to change system property
System.setProperty("awt.useSystemAAFontSettings", "off");
//After repaint(); - no changes (it takes effect if application is restarted only)

I "think" you might be forced to recreate the native peer to force a change the underlying `Graphics` context. You'd have to `dispose` of the active window and then make it visible again, but I've not tested that theory – MadProgrammer Mar 25 '15 at 11:25
`dispose()` and then `setVisible()` did not helped.. – Ernestas Gruodis Mar 25 '15 at 12:09
out of luck for current JVM instance, there should be a brutte_force, but cant be applied to whole (already) visible GUI – mKorbel Mar 25 '15 at 13:35
So I switched to "must restart the application" option.. – Ernestas Gruodis Mar 25 '15 at 13:48
