Here is a very simple example of the UIManager:

declare this in class:

private UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo looksAvail [];

put this in constructor of class program:

looksAvail = UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels();

put this where you want to change it:

eg.
int subs = 0;
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(looksAvail[subs].getClassName());
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

// subs 0 - Metal, 1 - Motif, 2 - Windows.
