Bad Logic Apps: QuaQua Implementation

<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">   I would like to show you how to implement the QuaQua Look And Feel in Java. I heard someone says that Java isn't that good when it comes to look and feel and Java is only good for algorithms, back ends and all other good stuffs. I found that statement partially true. Why? Because Java is really good for algorithms. But I must say that Java is as good as other programming language when talking about LAF. There are lots of workaround of customizing the LAF of your Java Desktop Application.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">You can create an application what uses Windows LAF, Metal and other available LAF for Java. You can also create a desktop application that uses other LAF like the QuaQua Look and Feel described <a href="http://www.randelshofer.ch/quaqua/" style="text-decoration: none;">here</a>.<br /><br />Examples of the implementation of the QuaQua Look and Feel in Java.</span></div>
