Change JFrame icon via custom LaF

Hello,

Is there a way to change the JFrame icon
via a custom Look and Feel? I'm trying to
create a LaF and would like to use a "nicer" icon.

Also, is it possible to change the font
of the titlebar on a JFrame via a custom LaF?

I would prefer doing this without having
to use the setUndecorated() method and
paint it myself.

Thanks,
Rob

I'm a newbie so take my advise with a grain of salt.
object warningIcon = LookAndFeel.makeIcon(getClass(), "icons/warning.gif")
There is a number of resource Icons.
Hope this helps.
John

Thanks for the reply, however that code only creates
the icon. What I would like to know is what property
do I set to replace the original JFrame icon with the
one you created?

The code line below changes the internalframe's closeicon
to the warningIcon you created.

UIManager.put( "InternalFrame.closeIcon", warningIcon );

But I can't seem to find the property for the JFrame's icon.

Thanks,
Rob
