Description _ tboudreau 2006-02-03 18:36:04 UTC 
I saw Maros's post about the line switches - but there's a way you can 
actually do this in a L&F friendly way (a customizer probably isn't the answer 
here):

org.openide.awt.HtmlRenderer supports a small extension to the standard html 
color spec - you can refer to UIManager key-value pairs by prepending ! - i.e. 
<font color="!controlShadow"> means the UIManager color for controlShadow will 
be used.

So simply define your UIManager keys and values in core/swing/plaf (Dafe or I 
can show you where) - and then if they need to be customized for a specific 
look and feel, they can, and look and feels like the Substance plugin can 
install whatever they want.
