Package javax.swing.plaf.nimbus
 Nimbus uses instances of the Painter interface to paint
 components. With each Swing component it associates a foreground and a
 background Painter, and there may be several painters for different
 component states.
 
 Nimbus allows customizing many of its properties, including painters, by
 altering the UIDefaults table. Here's an example:
 
 UIManager.put("ProgressBar.tileWidth", myTileWidth);
 UIManager.put("ProgressBar[Enabled].backgroundPainter", myBgPainter);
 UIManager.put("ProgressBar[Enabled].foregroundPainter", myFgPainter);
 
 
 Per-component customization is also possible. When rendering a component,
 Nimbus checks its client property named "Nimbus.Overrides". The value of this
 property should be an instance of UIDefaults. Settings from that
 table override the UIManager settings, but for that particular component
 instance only. An optional client property,
 "Nimbus.Overrides.InheritDefaults" of type Boolean, specifies whether the
 overriding settings should be merged with default ones (true), or
 replace them (false). By default they are merged:
 
 JProgressBar bar = new JProgressBar();
 UIDefaults overrides = new UIDefaults();
 overrides.put("ProgressBar.cycleTime", 330);
 ...
 bar.putClientProperty("Nimbus.Overrides", overrides);
 bar.putClientProperty("Nimbus.Overrides.InheritDefaults", false);
 
 
 Colors in Nimbus are derived from a core set of
 primary colors. There
 are also
 secondary colors,
 which are derived from primary ones, but serve themselves as base colors for
 other derived colors. The derivation mechanism allows for runtime
 customization, i.e. if a primary or secondary color is changed, all colors
 that are derived from it are automatically updated. The method
 NimbusLookAndFeel.getDerivedColor(java.lang.String, float, float, float, int, boolean)
 may be used to create a derived color.
 
 These classes are designed to be used while the corresponding
 LookAndFeel class has been installed
 (UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new XXXLookAndFeel())).
 Using them while a different LookAndFeel is installed may produce
 unexpected results, including exceptions. Additionally, changing the
 LookAndFeel maintained by the UIManager without updating the
 corresponding ComponentUI of any JComponents may also produce
 unexpected results, such as the wrong colors showing up, and is generally not
 encouraged.
 
Note: Most of the Swing API is not thread safe. For details, see Concurrency in Swing, a section in The Java Tutorial.
