Questions tagged [look-and-feel]

Questions about the Look and Feel (LaF) of applications with a graphical user interface (GUI). This includes questions on how to achieve a certain appearance (such as the native OS style) or how to alter a component's behaviour.

Look-and-feel can refer to any visual user interface, including individual applications, the operating system itself, or web sites. The 'look' refers to the interface's style (colors, fonts, icons and even branding) and layout of components on the display. The 'feel' refers to how these components behave, especially to user input. This is also known as usability or accessibility.

Swing: Custom LaF for JTabbedPane component subclass

How can I subclass a JTabbedPane and give each instance of my subclass a Look-and-Feel that is different from the default LaF? I still want access to the default JTabbedPanel, so simply overriding the global LaF is not an option. Thanks.
