Besides enhanced looks and advanced features, one of the best things about Swing is its pluggable look and feel (PLAF). PLAF architecture allows seamless changes in the appearance of an application and the way an application interacts with the user. However, designing and developing a PLAF is much more exhaustive and complex. On the other hand, themes provide a simple alternative to change look and feel of the swing application. Themes are easier to implement and they enhance the visual appeal of the application UI using the default Java look and feel.
Theme mechanism allows a developer to easily specify the default colors, fonts and icons used by the look and feel (L&F). It allows developers to write their own themes giving them a choice to show their application GUI the way they want it, rather than depending on the defaults provided by the system.
This inspired me to make this tool. This tool is not a professional one but shows an example which makes use of the System.Diagnostics namespace. With this tool, you can write small console based Java programs, compile and run. Just a way to practically learn Java.

G
UILLAIN-BARRéSYNDROME(GBS)is an uncommon disorder,but one
whose impact is far out of proportion to its incidence.Despite a
usually good prognosis,GBS is a particularly frightening and often life-
altering experience for those diagnosed with the disorder.Many patients
are acutely aware of the rapid loss of control of their muscular function,
including vital functions such as breathing and swallowing,and fre-
quently feel that they are dying.The experience is almost as unnerving
for the families of affected individuals.During the acute phase of the ill-
ness GBS patients experience the indignity of helplessness in addition to
their fear of death or permanent disability.Prolonged disability is com-
mon and some permanent residual effects are becoming increasingly
recognized.It has been our experience in meeting patients at support
groups,that individuals who have been affected by GBS have a great
desire for a better understanding of the disorder,even years after the
acute experience.
