Can I use two different look and feels in the same Swing application?

Question

I\'m using the Flamingo ribbon and the Substance Office 2007 look and feel.

Of course now every control has this look and feel, even those on dialog

Answer 1

Swing unfortunately does lots of "psuedo-global" things behind the scenes. AFAIK, the only way to do it consistently is to use the private AppContext API. Each AppContext has its own event dispatch thread and other "psuedo-globals".
