How do I change the LookAndFeel used by the Visual Composition Editor (VCE)?

Create a file called 'swing.properties' and put a line like this line in it:

swing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel

You can use whichever L&F you want by simply putting the proper class name on the right hand side of the expression.

Place the file in the '<VAJ installation dir>ideprogramlib' directory, and when you restart VAJ, the VCE will use the specified L&F.
