經常聽朋友說，java編寫的程序界面比較單一，不好進行個性化配置?，F在讓我們一起來了解有關Java界面樣式相關類的知識，以及如何用Java寫出變幻莫測的用戶界面，讓Java程序也擁有時髦的換膚功能。 實現原理 Java平臺成熟后，設計人員與開發人員就熟悉到需要連續性好、兼容性好、輕易使用的Java程序界面。這時Sun就推出了“Look and Feel”機制迎合這種需求。它提供了一種獨特的、與平臺無關的程序外觀，以及標準的界面行為。它可以在各個平臺上使用同一“Look and Feel”，從而縮短設計與開發周期，降低軟件使用人員的培訓費用。這是“Look and Feel”設計的初衷?，F在我們來使用這種特性為Java程序穿上花衣。
從JDK1.1.3開始，Sun提供了三個LookAndFeel的子類 javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel、com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel、com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows. WindowsLookAndFeel。它們分別提供了“Metal”、“Motif”與“Windows”的界面式樣。也就是說，任何基于Swing的界面程序本身都可以使用三種系統提供的皮膚。實際上我們也可以直接或間接繼續LookAndFeel類，自己編寫一種“皮膚”。在這里我們要使用到一個開放源代碼的產品SKIN Look And Feel 1.2.2，在http://www.l2fPRod.com/可以找到它的全部源代碼。Skin Look And Feel本身還可以更換http://www.l2fprod.com/提供的各種“皮膚”，讓你的程序可以各種“皮膚”示人。
UIManager類
這個類就是Swing界面治理的核心，治理Swing的小應用程序以及應用程序樣式的狀態。UIManager類提供了下列靜態方法用于更換與治理“Look and Feel”:
static void addAuxiliaryLookAndFeel(LookAndFeel laf) //增加一個“Look And Feel”到輔助的“look and feels”列表 static LookAndFeel[] getAuxiliaryLookAndFeels() //返回輔助的“look and feels”列表（可能為空）。 static String getCrossPlatformLookAndFeelClassName() //返回缺省的實現了跨平臺的Look and Feel——即Java Look and Feel（JLF）。 static UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo[] getInstalledLookAndFeels() //返回了在目前已經安裝的LookAndFeel的信息。 static LookAndFeel getLookAndFeel() //返回當前使用的Look and Feel static String getSystemLookAndFeelClassName() //返回與當前系統相關的本地系統Look and Feel，假如沒有實現本地Look and Feel則返回缺省的跨平臺的Look and Feel。 static void installLookAndFeel(String name, String className) //創建一個新的Look and Feel并安裝到當前系統。 static void installLookAndFeel(UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo info) //創建一個新的Look and Feel并安裝到當前系統。 static boolean removeAuxiliaryLookAndFeel(LookAndFeel laf) //從輔助的“look and feels”列表刪除一個“Look And Feel” static void setInstalledLookAndFeels(UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo[] infos) //設置當前的已安裝Look and Feel信。 static void setLookAndFeel(LookAndFeel newLookAndFeel) //設置當前使用的LookAndFeel。 static void setLookAndFeel(String className) //設置當前使用的LookAndFeel。參數是類名。
下面的源代碼可以在Skin Look And Feel 1.2.2下的源代碼根目錄下找到（比如我下載的zip包是skinlf-1.2.2-20020611.zip，解壓后，在src目錄下的Skinit.java）。
