Re: Netbeans UI not the same as if executed

Hi,

the difference you see is caused because off different look&feels. 
NetBeans uses the system look and feel as default, but your app the 
swing cross platform l&f. (you can also preview with different look and 
feels via context menu)

simple put this into your code _before doing anything gui related:

            // switch to system look and feel
            try{
                
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
            }catch(Exception ex2) {
                // ignore
            }


regards,

michael
