protected booleanisAvailableLookAndFeel(java.lang.String laf)
A utility function that layers on top of the LookAndFeel's isSupportedLookAndFeel() method. Returns true if the LookAndFeel is supported. Returns false if the LookAndFeel is not supported and/or if there is any kind of error checking if the LookAndFeel is supported. The L&F menu will use this method to detemine whether the various L&F options should be active or inactive.

         try { 
             Class lnfClass = Class.forName(laf);
             LookAndFeel newLAF = (LookAndFeel)(lnfClass.newInstance());

	   NOTE: By default, the look and feel will be set to the

	   The user may someday be able to override the default
	   via a system property. If you as the developer want to
	   be sure that a particular L&F is set, you can do so
	   by calling UIManager.setLookAndFeel(). For example, the
	   first code snippet below forcibly sets the UI to be the
	   System Look and Feel. The second code snippet forcibly
	   sets the look and feel to the Cross Platform L&F.

	   Snippet 1:
	   try {
	      UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
	   } catch (Exception exc) {
	      System.err.println("Error loading L&F: " + exc);

	   } catch (Exception exc) {
	      System.err.println("Error loading L&F: " + exc);
