If you absolutely must switch look and feel designs, follow these guidelines.
Place the choice of look and feel designs inside your application's preferences
dialog box.
List your application's default look and feel first. If the default is the Java look
and feel, it should be followed by the look and feel of the platform your
application is most likely to run on. Make these choices radio button menu
items because only one main look and feel can be active at any time.
Always use "Java look and feel," not "Java" or "Metal." (Metal is the package
name for the Java look and feel.)
