Hello everybody,

I have a question about Swing en PLAF. I'm using JB2.0, but that is not an
issue I suppose. I have an MDI application using JFrame an JInternalFrames.
So far so good. When I change the L&F to, say MetalL&F, all my internal
frames change. My master frame doesn't, which is normal because a JFrame
directly inherits from awt.Frame and as such is heavy weight. I find it
annoying that I have an application right now which uses to kinds of L&F.
What I would like is that my outermost frame also adopts the new L&F. Is
there a way to achieve this? Otherwise, what is all the fuzz about the PLAF?
A mixed environment seems more horrible then an ugly windows L&F (compared
to Metal, Motif and Mac).

Can someone give me some advice?

Thanks.
