Customizing a JList Look and Feel
Each installable Swing look and feel provides a different JList appearance and set of default
UIResource value settings for the component. Figure 13-11 shows the appearance of the JList
component for the preinstalled set of look and feel types: Motif, Windows, and Ocean.
