WindowsLookAndFeel on non-Windows hack

[=?iso-8859-1?Q?Nils_O=2E_Sel=E5sdal?=]

try {
//load a L&F that works first.
UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel");
System.setProperty("os.name", "Windows");
System.setProperty("os.version", "5.1");

UIManager.setLookAndFeel(
"com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}

This is actually quite imortant to me, as I have to assure my GUI's
also looks good with the windows L&F.

You may want to be aware that this is illegal -- as in a copyright
violation. That's why Java does not include the Windows L&F on
non-Windows platforms, or the Mac L&F on non-Mac platforms, etc.
