I have created an application in Java Swing. I offer the option to change the look and feel of the application from a menu, but after adding a new tab in JTabbedPane
, it is not getting updated with the new look and feel.
I have already used this code:
Window windows[] = Frame.getWindows();
for(Window window : windows) {
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(window);
}
Leveraging @Andrew\'s example and this old thing, it seems to work for me.
