I am making an application using NetBeans in Java for the first time and I am encountering behavior I don't understand. When dragging a JComboBox into my app, it looks like this

Which I really do like the look of this. But when compiling and running my application it changes the look to this:

I believe the solution is to override methods in BasicComboBoxUI as suggested in this stackoverflow question How can I change the arrow style in a JComboBox but my question is why does this happen? And is that the solution I am looking for? Thanks in advance!

Change the Look&Feel of your application. This is usually the first item coded within the main() method and in NetBeans, I believe the default application look&feel is Nimbus. Change this look&feel to whatever you like. Read this.

I think you can change the default Look&Feel by going into the menu items Tools -> options -> Appearance -> Look&Feel Tab -> Selected desired look&Feel from drop-down box.
