Programming using Netbeans with GUI

Question

Is there a way to a program to be shown like in the Netbeans preview design screen:

previewGUI

and not like the default running program GUI:

enter image description here

?

Use alt+print-screen to capture only the active window. See also How do I create screenshots? (for tips on making great screenshots). Also note it is spelled 'Java' as opposed to 'JAVA'. — Andrew Thompson

Are you looking to set a "look and feel"?

Here's the code from the link:

// Get the native look and feel class name
String nativeLF = UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName();

// Install the look and feel
try {
 UIManager.setLookAndFeel(nativeLF);
} catch (InstantiationException e) {
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
} catch (UnsupportedLookAndFeelException e) {
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
}
