Modifying the Look and Feel
Changing the Color Theme
The Nimbus look and feel has a set of default
colors, but you are not required to use them.
You can change the colors to match your corporate brand
or other color scheme.
All of the colors used by Nimbus are stored as a set of
UIManager properties. You can change any or all
of these properties before you set the look and feel. For example:
UIManager.put("nimbusBase", new Color(...));
UIManager.put("nimbusBlueGrey", new Color(...));
UIManager.put("control", new Color(...));
for (LookAndFeelInfo info : UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels() {
if ("Nimbus".equals(info.getName())) {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(info.getClassName());
break;
}
}
These three base colors, nimbusBase, nimbusBlueGrey,
and control, will address most of your needs.
See a full list of color keys and their default values on the
Nimbus Defaults page.
