Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
The GTK L&F has a few known issues and is not enabled by default. Please see bug #183139. You might try adding those properties to either /etc/java-7-openjdk/swing.properties /etc/java-8-openjdk/swing.properties, one per line without the "-D", as in: awt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on swing.aatext=true swing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel swing.crossplatformlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel Be aware that the application you are trying to run might override those settings on its own, if so that would require you to edit the application configuration files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-7 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1581835 Title: Native Look and Feel for Swing does not work Status in openjdk-7 package in Ubuntu: New Status in openjdk-8 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Openjdk-7 and openjdk-8 do not enable native look and feel by default. But they support it. Apps use ugly blue theme, even if the code contains "UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());" I've tried Xubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu Mate 16.04 - apps look ugly. (for example logisim) To get native LAF you need to use these arguments: _JAVA_OPTIONS -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.crossplatformlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-7/+bug/1581835/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openjdk Post to : openjdk@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openjdk More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
