Overriding: javax.swing.LookAndFeel

Returns the look and feel defaults. The returned UIDefaults is populated by invoking, in order, initClassDefaults, initSystemColorDefaults and initComponentDefaults.

While this method is public, it should only be invoked by the UIManager when the look and feel is set as the current look and feel and after initialize has been invoked.

Returns:  the look and feel defaults

Overriding: javax.swing.LookAndFeel

Initializes the look and feel. While this method is public, it should only be invoked by the UIManager when a look and feel is installed as the current look and feel. This method is invoked before the UIManager invokes getDefaults. This method is intended to perform any initialization for the look and feel. Subclasses should do any one-time setup they need here, rather than in a static initializer, because look and feel class objects may be loaded just to discover that isSupportedLookAndFeel() returns false.

Overriding: javax.swing.LookAndFeel

Uninitializes the look and feel. While this method is public, it should only be invoked by the UIManager when the look and feel is uninstalled. For example, UIManager.setLookAndFeel invokes this when the look and feel is changed.

Subclasses may choose to free up some resources here.
