JDK-4250200 - Windows look-and-feel should track dynamic changes in users's desktop
Description

Name: gsC80088			Date: 11/30/98


If one goes to the control panel, display,
appearance, and then one changes either the 
colours OR the font sizes/types, these changes
propagate into a JDialog and JFrame just fine,
but do not sub-propagate into the components 
contained in the J-Container.

WORK AROUND Name: gsC80088 Date: 11/30/98 Re-start the application. This is a problem if the application is very long lived and used by multiple users who each use different desktop schemes (in this case due to eyesight problems). Another workaround is to have menu options to change the font size/colour scheme. ======================================================================

EVALUATION I'm reassigning this bug to Swing, because it's mostly an issue with Swing components and the bug mentions Swing components specifically. If the AWT doesn't provide notification of this message (I don't recall offhand), please reassign this pup back to us for consideration in a future API change. Thanks! fred.ecks@Eng 1998-12-09 We need to fix this in both the AWT and Swing and it is committed for merlin. This is a duplicate of 4250200. amy.fowler@Eng 2000-03-17
