I'm having a problem getting my JFrame to change LookAndFeel. No matter

change the LAF to Motif the color of the inside of the frame changes but

Any ideas?
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

import javax.swing.*;
public class test {
static Map<String,String> map = new HashMap<>();
public static void main(String... args) {
for (UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo info :
UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels()) {
map.put(info.getName(),info.getClassName());
System.out.println(info.getName());
}
EventQueue.invokeLater(() -> {
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(map.get("Nimbus"));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
f.setSize(400,300);
f.setVisible(true);
});
}
}
It has been my experience that the frame decorations are added by
the window manager, not by java. So you get whatever decorations
are native to the WM, regardless of what L&F you specify.
