Install a LAF

The plugin LookAndFell enables you to install other LookAndFeel. for that, it is necessary to modify the file plugin.xml of the plugin to indicate the jar library of the LookAndFeel, for example 

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE plugin PUBLIC "-//JPF//Java Plug-in Manifest 0.2" "http://jpf.sourceforge.net/plugin_0_2.dtd">
<plugin id="lookAndfeel" version="1" class="salomeTMF_plug.lookAndfeel.LookAndFeelPlugin">
    <requires>
		<import plugin-id="core"/>
	</requires>
    
    <runtime>
                <library id="lookAndfeel" path="lookAndfeel/lookAndfeel.jar" type="code"/> 
                <!-- Add your laf library here -->
                <library id="Metouia" path="lookAndfeel/libs/Metouia.jar" type="code"/> 
	</runtime>
    
	<extension plugin-id="core" point-id="Common" id="lookAndfeel.Common">
		<parameter id="class" value="salomeTMF_plug.lookAndfeel.LookAndFeelPlugin"/>
		<parameter id="name" value="lookAndfeel"/>
		<parameter id="description" value="Plugin for change the laf of salome-tmf"/>
	</extension>
</plugin>
Then, it is necessary to modify the file laf.properties to indicate the name of the LookAndFeel, the systems compatible (Mac, Unix, Windows, All, for Linux use Unix), and the class of the LookAndFeel, for example: 

Gtk=Unix:com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel

Metal=All:javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel
Motif=All:com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel
Windows=Windows:com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel
Compiere=All:org.compiere.plaf.CompiereLookAndFeel
JGoodies=All:
Goodies=Windows:com.jgoodies.looks.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel
GoodiesPlastic=All:com.jgoodies.looks.plastic.PlasticLookAndFeel
GoodiesPlastic3D=All:com.jgoodies.looks.plastic.Plastic3DLookAndFeel
GoodiesPlasticXP=Windows:com.jgoodies.looks.plastic.PlasticXPLookAndFeel
Metouia=All:net.sourceforge.mlf.metouia.MetouiaLookAndFeel

OfficeXP=Windows:org.fife.plaf.Office2003.Office2003LookAndFeel
