## Class MetalTheme

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalTheme

- Direct Known Subclasses:
    DefaultMetalTheme

      public abstract class MetalTheme
      extends Object

  `MetalTheme` provides the color palette and fonts used by the Java Look and Feel.

  `MetalTheme` is abstract, see `DefaultMetalTheme` and `OceanTheme` for concrete implementations.

  `MetalLookAndFeel` maintains the current theme that the the `ComponentUI` implementations for metal use. Refer to `MetalLookAndFeel.setCurrentTheme(MetalTheme)` for details on changing the current theme.

  `MetalTheme` provides a number of public methods for getting colors. These methods are implemented in terms of a handful of protected abstract methods. A subclass need only override the protected abstract methods (`getPrimary1`, `getPrimary2`, `getPrimary3`, `getSecondary1`, `getSecondary2`, and `getSecondary3`); although a subclass may override the other public methods for more control over the set of colors that are used.

  Concrete implementations of `MetalTheme` must return `non-null` values from all methods. While the behavior of returning `null` is not specified, returning `null` will result in incorrect behavior.

  It is strongly recommended that subclasses return completely opaque colors. To do otherwise may result in rendering problems, such as visual garbage.
