i wnat to change look & feel to metal.
anyone please tell me how to this hack.

because my cpu is slow.

it already is metal. but the forthcoming version has some really awesome things that'll let you specify exactly what colors & pictures you'd like, so anyone can write their own theme. aubrey wrote some really cool black theme that i'm using right now.

thank you for your reply.

i have tried to edit this properties.
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.3.1/Home/lib/swing.properties

but swing is not replaced.
so if you know that,
where point of java source code should be changed?

from limewire_latest.zip

i ran back through the code to check... turns out that OSX does it differently. it's under /com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/ResourceManager.java, in the constructor. it uses the call UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName() and uses that to set the look & feel. all other system use LimeLookAndFeel (also under /.../gui).

thanks a lot!
