    copied!<p>I have a problem with the <code>JFileChooser</code> under Ubuntu 12.04. I use this code to set the look and feel: <code>javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel(javax.swing.UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());</code></p> <p>And it looks like this. It's very uncomfortable to use and it looks very ugly:</p> <p><a href="http://www9.picfront.org/token/9sRH/2012/05/15/2062476.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www9.picfront.org/token/9sRH/2012/05/15/2062476.jpg</a></p> <p>I would like it to look like this:</p> <p><a href="http://www4.picfront.org/token/1lpa/2012/05/15/2062477.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www4.picfront.org/token/1lpa/2012/05/15/2062477.jpg</a></p> <p>Using the hint from this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4983575/is-there-a-way-to-improve-jfilechooser-look-and-feel-under-ubuntu">post</a>, I tried to use <code>FileDialog</code> instead of the <code>FileChooser</code>. But <code>FileDialog</code> throws an exception when i start it in <code>LOAD</code> mode and click on the "open" button. The way i create the Dialog:</p> <pre><code>FileDialog fd = new FileDialog(frame, "Test", FileDialog.LOAD); fd.setVisible(true); </code></pre> <p>The Exception:</p> <pre><code>Exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.NullPointerException at sun.awt.X11.GtkFileDialogPeer.setFileInternal(GtkFileDialogPeer.java:79) at sun.awt.X11.GtkFileDialogPeer.run(Native Method) at sun.awt.X11.GtkFileDialogPeer.showNativeDialog(GtkFileDialogPeer.java:172) at sun.awt.X11.GtkFileDialogPeer.access$000(GtkFileDialogPeer.java:39) at sun.awt.X11.GtkFileDialogPeer$1.run(GtkFileDialogPeer.java:114) </code></pre> <p>I am using Oracle JDK7 under Ubuntu Linux 12.04 with Gnome 3 (if this helps).</p> <p>Does anybody got an idea how either i could improve the look of the <code>JFileChooser</code> or get the <code>FileDialog</code> working?</p>
