Java look and feel for tray does not work

Question

I use UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()); to set a LAF and it works fine. But this time I also implemented a tray and it looks ugly - like Motif. How can I set LAF for the tray?

Answer 1

The class you're probably using for this is java.awt.SystemTray.

The tray uses AWT, not Swing. You cant set the look and feel of it.

I think there is a duplicate of this somewhere on here.
