Hello all,
Rather new to the Netbeans IDE, and I have a rather noob question... I'm developing a GUI, and when using the "preview design" it defaults with the "windows" theme... which I like. However, when I actually run the program it defaults to Metal or something. How do I go about forcing it use a certain theme?
Thanks and sorry if this question has been asked a million times!

Are you using Swing components or AWT.
swing...in netbeans
In default NetBeans use an ash color in all component except the tittle bar of the dialog, is swing. So what you have to do is, as OrangeDog says, setLookAndFeel() works for you.
