Re: GUI Buttons

I'll answer this now, but in the future use nbusers. 
This is not the correct list, so please abide by the
list descriptions.

This issue is one of the Java look and feel.  NB uses
the system default for the system it is on.  If on
Windows XP then it uses the Windows XP look and feel.
You can use any look and feel you want in your Swing
application, and you can search for Java Swing Look
and Feel on google to get many results.  The JGoodies
Plastic Look and Feel is cool.  If you look at the
Swing tutorial you will see how you can set the
application look and feel.  You will have to use code
for this as NB doesn't set it for you automatically.
