I am able to switch look and feel in my app between metal, motif and windows 
without any issue but if I set my JFrame with

JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);  then I encounter problems. 
When switching out of Metal to either Motif or Windows,  the frame size 
becomes larger than screen size and the window title bar with close, 
maximize or minimize buttons are not visible.

The only property I set on the frame is setExtendedState(JFrame.BOTH);

I am using Jbuilder 2005 foundation with JDK 1.5       on Windows XP.

Any help appreciated.  TIA

George

I can't reproduce your problem in JDK 1.5 *or* JDK 1.4.2.  I have to assume
that you mean setExtendedState(JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH) in the above call.
This was the code I used to repaint in each of the PLAFs.  Hopefully you
are doing something similar...

    try {
      UIManager.setLookAndFeel(
          "com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");
      SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this);
    }
    catch (Exception ex) {
      ex.printStackTrace();
    }
