<div class='vspace'></div><h1>Changing <span class='wikiword'>FreeGuide</span>'s look and feel</h1>
<p>You can style/theme <span class='wikiword'>FreeGuide</span> by using so-called Look and Feels. You can change the look-and-feel used by <span class='wikiword'>FreeGuide</span> by going to the <strong>Tools</strong> menu and choosing <strong>Options</strong>. Now click on <strong>General</strong> and choose a look-and-feel from the drop-down.
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><h3>Installing new Look-and-Feels</h3>
<p>You can download Java Look-and-Feels from lots of places. Some sites, such as javootoo.com provide links to many different look-and-feels that are available for download under licenses varying from open source to proprietary and commercial. You may also want to try a search on your favorite search engine.
</p>
<p class='vspace'>When you download a look-and-feel, it should include instructions for installing it. Some may have requirements that others do not; for example, some will require you to specify additional information on the command line to use the look-and-feel. Therefore, it is important that you read the instructions that came with your look-and-feel.
</p>
<p class='vspace'>In all cases, however, the look-and-feel must appear in <span class='wikiword'>FreeGuide</span>'s classpath. To include the look-and-feel in the classpath, modify the shortcut you are using to start <span class='wikiword'>FreeGuide</span> to include the -classpath command-line option. The command line should look something like those shown below (make sure you use the correct locations for your files):
</p>
<p class='vspace'><code class='escaped'>javaw -classpath "C:\path\to\my\LookAndFeel.jar" ...</code>
</p>
<p class='vspace'>Where "..." means fill in the rest of the shortcut command that was already present.
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><h3>The GTK Look-and-Feel</h3>
<p>The GTK look-and-feel is designed to look like the rest of your desktop if you are using the GNOME desktop environment on Linux. However, Windows users can also use the GTK look-and-feel, if you download the Java JDK (developers' kit) instead of just the JRE (runtime environment). The advantage of the GTK look-and-feel is that you can use any of many available the GNOME desktop themes with it, which opens up a large array of possible looks for <span class='wikiword'>FreeGuide</span>.
</p>
<p class='vspace'>GTK+ themes are available from a number of websites, including <a class='urllink' href='http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2/' rel='nofollow'>GNOME</a> and <a class='urllink' href='http://themes.freshmeat.net/' rel='nofollow'>freshmeat.net</a>.
