I'm developing a form in Matisse. When I run the form the look of the form is the Java steel look rather than the look in the preview or development window in myEclipse. Do I have something set incorrectly or is this normal behavior?

Yes you need to set the LNF of your form preferabbly from the main() method of your application before it does anything using the code:
UIManager.setLookAndFeelClassName(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeel());

or something like that, double check the UIManager.setXXX methods, also you will need to wrap it in a try-catch block.

Thanks, The new code in main() to test the MyGUI is:


public static void main(String args[]) {
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InstantiationException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (UnsupportedLookAndFeelException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
new MyGUI().setVisible(true);
}
});
}
