[Bug 1581835] [NEW] Native Look and Feel for Swing does not work

 

Public bug reported:

Openjdk-7 and openjdk-8 do not enable native look and feel by default. But they support it. Apps use ugly blue theme, even if the code contains "UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());"
I've tried Xubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu Mate 16.04 - apps look ugly. (for example logisim)

To get native LAF you need to use these arguments: _JAVA_OPTIONS 
-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.crossplatformlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel

** Affects: openjdk-7 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
