Hello all:

We have a problem when we dynamically change Look and Feel back to windows 
Style.

When app is loaded, it uses windows Look and Feel(everything goes well). But 
after we change it to other look and feel,
then change back to Windows look and feel, all components look great except 
the JButton on JToolbar.

All those JButtons are larger than they should be and use more space than 
they need.


The code we use to change back to windows look and feel is as follows:


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



Thank you
-Daniel

Well, it sounds like you've narrowed it down.  It must be a problem with 
JToolbar, or a subcomponent of it.

Have you tryed to call UIManager.setLookAndFeel and explicitly pass in 
the JToolbar?
