Synth Look and Feel

synth is a skinnable Java look and feel, which is configured with an XML property file.

[2] Java SE 6 Update 10 release and newer contain Nimbus, a cross-platform Look and Feel implemented with Synth.

However, for backwards compatibility, Metal is still the default Swing look and feel.

The following XML declaration defines a style named textfield and binds it to all text fields.

The defaultStyle allows to set a default font, foreground and background colors to all other widgets.
