A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Swing JTable row borders goes away after applying Nimbus LookAndFeel
I have raised this with example in stackoverflow. Please check.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65257222/swing-jtable-row-borders-goes-away-after-applying-nimbus-lookandfeel
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
I have a java 8 program in which - Parent is a JFrame that has Menu, few buttons, a text field and a JTable with fixed number of non-editable rows. Number of rows and data cannot be changed dynamically.
Menu has list of UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels()
Initially JTable rows border are visible
If LookAndFeel change to [Nimbus javax.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel], and then try any other LookAndFeel, rows border goes away.
I am using SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(parentFrame) to apply LnF. LnF is applying on all components including JTable, but once Nimbus LnF applied and after that choosing any other LnF, rows border went off.
As a option repaint() is not making any difference
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Border should come back for rows of JTable
ACTUAL -
Border does not come back for rows of JTable once apply Nimbus LnF and then after changing to any other LookAndFeel
