Your solution seem to be what I looked for, but its still doesn't work for
me
I tried exactly what you have suggested except that I'm doing an application
and not an applet.
I still have the gray and purple colors of the default Metal Theme.
I extended the DefaultMetalTheme instead of MetalTheme class (because its
abstract and some methods need to be implemented)
Any other suggestions or clarifications for this solution?
Thanks again Ronen.
