[kepler-dev] bug#5501 - kepler linux LnF

[Tomasz Żok]

Hi,

Maybe you can consider using Nimbus LnF? It is a standard LnF available in
every Java installation since JRE 6u10. No special libraries are required.

The classname for LnF is:
com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel

Some information and general screenshot:

And also I attach a screenshot of Kepler running under this LnF.

Regards,
Tomek
