Your would use UIManager to change the look and feel of your application. More specifally, it would look like this:

UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());```

You will need to catch like four different exceptions, but after that it should work

It looks like this now

I want them to look like those

If you are on windows, the System buttons do not support coloring I believe

Get rid of the setBackground()

[violet tapir]

Is it possible?

I'll try

And can I get rid of the annoying square in the middle of the button?

[supple arrow]

yes

, do setFocusPainted(false);

Oh, another thing, Make sure you are setting the look and feel before you add the buttons, or any other swing component for that matter

package com.eitan07.crackme.windows;

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

public class MainWindow implements ActionListener {

    JFrame frame;
    JPanel panel;
    JButton button;
    JLabel lbl1;
    JLabel lbl2;

    public MainWindow() throws UnsupportedLookAndFeelException, ClassNotFoundException, InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException {
        frame = new JFrame();
        panel = new JPanel();
        button = new JButton();
        button.setText("CLICK ME!!");
        button.setFocusPainted(false);
        button.setEnabled(true);
        button.addActionListener(this);
        panel.add(button);
        

        UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
        frame.add(panel);
        frame.setTitle("CRACKME");
        frame.setResizable(false);
        frame.setSize(150, 300);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        if (e.getSource() == button) {
            System.exit(0);
        }
    }
}
``` This is what my code looked like

I added the component before changing the FAL

I've done that before for sure

If your problem is fixed, you should do /close
