Questions tagged [synth]

Synth is the name of a Look-and-Feel in Java Swing. For questions about sound and music, it is recommended that you use the 'synthesizer' tag instead.

Synth is a special look-and-feel provided by Swing which is completely unstyled by default, but can be customized using an XML configuration or by extending the code. It is essentially a 'skin' for Java applications.
