![]() Matlab, whose GUI is based on Java (not surprising to readers of this website), has chosen to use a platform-specific L&F on each of the platforms on which it is supported. The benefit of using Metal is that the application looks essentially the same on all Java-supported platforms the drawback is that they do not look like native applications on any platform… Java programmers can choose to use either a platform-independent L&F (called the Metal L&F), or a platform-specific L&F. In a nutshell, L&Fs affect the appearance and behavior of menus, controls, color schemes etc., using a properties plug-in architecture. Java has similar cross-platform compatibilities, but enables much greater control over the look-and-feel (L&F or PLAF) of application GUI. Generally speaking, Matlab applications written on Windows will work as-is on Macintosh and Linux. ![]() One of Matlab’s great advantages is cross-platform compatibility. ![]() ![]() So this is for you, Egon □ Matlab’s underlying Look-and-Feel Instead of providing a short answer, I will use the opportunity to answer in a full article. A couple of days ago, a reader of this blog posted a comment, asking whether it is possible to change Matlab’s Desktop color scheme, and its general UI look.
