How to give the JFrame a different look-and-feel from other components (Multiplexing)?

Question

This method

UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new SubstanceCeruleanLookAndFeel());

sets the L&F for the whole app. How do I combine this and then set different L&F just for JFrame?

EDIT

I've found this article on Multiplexing Look and Feels. How exactly does this work? I can't find any examples.

Answer 1

You can override UI defaults for a JComponent easily enough; there's an example here that illustrates changing JTree icons. Unfortunately, JFrame is not a JComponent; it has no UI delegate, and its decorations are supplied by the host operating system.

For more specific guidance, you'll need to clarify what you're trying to accomplish.

Answer 2

It is not possible, the look and feel is application wide.
