change to JGoodies look and feel

I am trying to change the look and feel to JGoodies Windows.

I added the libraries (jgoodies-common-1.8.1.jar / jgoodies-looks-2.7.0.jar) and I am able to run the application. I tried a lot of look and feels and the most look similar. But none looks like the one from the demo software (http://www.jgoodies.com/downloads/demos). I also tried different ways to set it. When I try to change the theme, there is also no effect but I do not need it.

UIManager.setLookAndFeel(newcom.jgoodies.looks.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel());  
// UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());

I get the L&F from the system, so the two lines above have the same effect.

This is my L&F

Demo Version, select L&F

I solved the issue by setting the L&F before creating the components. Actually I thought the L&F could be changed anytime...
