public final class LookAndFeelMgr
extends java.lang.Object

Controls the look and feel and theme of ArgoUML. LookAndFeelMgr has a "Look and Feel" property which represents the Swing Pluggable Look-and-feel. It also has a "Theme" property which represents a MetalTheme when the Metal look-and-feel is selected (for other LAFs, a theme is not supported).
