Package weka.gui

Class LookAndFeel

java.lang.Object

weka.gui.LookAndFeel

public class LookAndFeel
extends Object

A little helper class for setting the Look and Feel of the user interface. Was necessary, since Java 1.5 sometimes crashed the WEKA GUI (e.g. under Linux/Gnome). Running this class from the commandline will print all available Look and Feel themes.
