Using Jide Look and Feel with non-Jide components

[debabrata]

Hi,
I am trying to use Jide's Office2003 look and feel in my UI. While it looks very nice on all the Jide components, the LnF doesn't get applied to the default Swing components. For example, if I use JRadioButton, I still get the metallic gray background, instead of the blue one.

How can I make them look consistent? I did install the JideExtensions to the LnF in the following way.

try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(WindowsLookAndFeel.class.getName());
} catch (...) {
}

LookAndFeelFactory.installJideExtension();

Thanks,
Dash.

After installing JIDE extension, we updated some UIDefaults so that other Swing components could also reuse it. Would you please give JIDE AbstractSpanTableDemo a try? In that demo, we also have JRadioButtons in the option panel. Please check if the painting fulfills your request.

Thanks,

Thank you for the reply. I unfortunately didn't find anything any special UIDefaults set up in the demo you mentioned. I therefore switched back to JideToggleButton instead of JRadioButton, and it looks much more integrated now.
