I'm new here so please forgive me if I do something wrong...

I am using Seaglass Look-and-Feel and it uses JScrollPane in case of large number of items. I would like to change it so that it uses Nimbus look-and-feel JScrollPane instead.

I tried changing ui on JComboBox, however it only changes the "outer" appearance, not the scroll pane itself.

Thank you in advance

EDIT: I tried this, but it changes only the outer appearance (metal ui in this try)...

JComboBox combo = new JComboBox();
    combo.setUI(new MetalComboBoxUI());

EDIT2: Alternatively how can I change all JScrollPanes in project to use nimbus UI and for other components to use some other UI?

    better would be send here code to show us what you are tried, isn't clear for me – mKorbel Jun 30 '11 at 07:30
  • hmmm, as I described http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6520803/combining-customized-java-lookandfeel-classes, that's not good idea mixing Look & Feel, but there are exists Custom L&F that allowed mixing Built-in Themes, or you have to create own JComponents, but that isn't easy job :-), but not hard – mKorbel Jun 30 '11 at 09:19

for applied any changes for JComponets UI you have to call

SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(myFrame);

this post is probably better for your issue

  • Hah! I managed to overcome it with a little trick. I extracted source code of look and feel, changed what I needed in scrollpaneUI class, included it in project and it shows scroll pane UI differently now :) – Andrija Sucevic Jun 30 '11 at 12:26
