#1105 Nimbus look and feel returns error
As of version 5.6.0, OmegaT can no longer be launched with the Nimbus look and feel.
Launch feedback:
11369: Error: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.omegat.gui.theme.DefaultFlatTheme cannot be cast to javax.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel
(full launch log available if needed)

I'm with the latest master (5.8) on macOS and I can't reproduce.
Thanks JC.
Here are the combinations I've tested on Linux. OmT = version of OmegaT;
JRE = JRE of OmegaT version (e.g. 5.5.0 JRE = JRE for Linux version
shipped with OmegaT 5.5.0)
5.5.0 OmT + 5.5.0 JRE = works
5.5.0 OmT + 5.6.0 JRE = works
5.6.0 OmT + 5.5.0 JRE = fails
5.6.0 OmT + 5.6.0 JRE = fails
5.7.0 OmT + 5.5.0 JRE = fails
5.7.0 OmT + 5.7.0 JRE = fails
5.7.1 OmT + 5.7.1 JRE = fails
5.8.0 OmT + 5.7.1 JRE = fails
I also tried with the latest Oracle JDK, also fails.
Does your Mac OS system actually use the Nimbus LaF when selected at
runtime? I have OmegaT 5.7.0 on my Windows box here and (unlike on
Linux, where the launch fails), it does launch with the Nimbus LaF
argument on the CLI, but it launches with the default Windows LaF, not
with Nimbus.
I've selected "Nimbus" in the Appearance settings and restarted OmegaT.
What would be the CLI argument to launch OmegaT with Nimbus?
-Dswing.crossplatformlaf=javax.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel
The other command-line LaF arguments (Steel, GTK, Motif) all work.
OmegaT 5.6.0 and later support theme plugin, that always respect theme on Appearance settings.
OmegaT calls UIManager#setLookAndFeel method with a name that is configured in Appearance settings.
It is a genuine way what @brandelune tell.
A document for OmegaT 5 should remove an explanation of java command line option.
Can you give me a full CL because I can't seem to make that work:
Your launch command should normally work on Linux:
java -jar
-Dswing.crossplatformlaf=javax.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel
-Duser.language=en OmegaT.jar
For example, on my Linux system, with both OmegaT 5.5.0 and 5.7.1
installed with the installation script, the command below works as intended:
/opt/omegat/OmegaT_5.5.0/jre/bin/java
-Dswing.crossplatformlaf=javax.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel -jar
/opt/omegat/OmegaT_5.5.0/OmegaT.jar
This command doesn't work (fails to launch and throws the error):
/opt/omegat/OmegaT_5.7.1/jre/bin/java
-Dswing.crossplatformlaf=javax.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel -jar
/opt/omegat/OmegaT_5.7.1/OmegaT.jar
(The -jar argument can be in either location)

#1105Thank you.
First thing, 5.7.1 launches without error
But, does not display Nimbus.
I tried with other LaF and they were not displayed either when launching from the CL.
What you're seeing is probably intended behaviour on MacOS.

You can try the demonstration theme plugin that is based on Nimbus LaF which may you want to look.
OmegaT Appearance settings list 'Nimbus' that is Java native LaF without any change.
Because Appearance lists all the LaF that is registered on Java JRE.
New-Nimbus theme loads Nimbus LaF and override with color scheme of OmegaT Default theme.
You can download a plugin Jar from

Thanks Hiroshi, that works nicely on Linux. I guess the bug report can
be closed.

I'm updating the manual so I'll make sure that there are no references to the command line options.
I take it you mean no references to the command line options for the
LaF, not no references to command line options in general?
