public class UICTheme
extends DefaultMetalTheme

The UICTheme for lots of usability fixes. Use this theme by setting it just before you create a JFrame or similar root window.

      // Set our theme to make it look better.
      try {
          //The following line is needed when starting the application from WebStart (only on Windows)
          javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel.setCurrentTheme(new uic.themes.UICTheme());
          UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getLookAndFeel());
      } catch(Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
      }

      final JFrame frame = new JFrame("myTitle");
      try {
          Runnable r = new Runnable() {
              public void run() {
                  // update LaF for the toplevel frame, too
                  javax.swing.SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(frame);
              }
          };
          javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(r);
      } catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
      } // end setting theme.

      // finish initialistion of frame.
      frame.setVisible(true);

percent - the percentage to move from the background to param 'one'.
