I now want to give a 3d look to the buttons. How should I go about this using nimbus? i had gone through nimbus but coudnt find appropriate info

note: I have added image where button1 shows that I have used: generateButton.setBorder(BorderFactory.createBevelBorder(BevelBorder.LOWERED));

and second with nimbus effect

Answer 1

This is more of a suggestion than an answer.

From looking at your previous questions it seems this button has been a problem for you. It seems your initial question regarding the button didn't include using Nimbus at all but was more just how to get the button look and functionality.

I might suggest instead of trying to mess with the look and feel, maybe just pick a look and feel that is to your liking. All of the one below can be found at sourceforge
