javax.swing.plaf.multi.MultiLookAndFeel

public class MultiLookAndFeel
extends LookAndFeel

A multiplexing look and feel that allows more than one UI to be associated with a component at the same time. The primary look and feel is called the default look and feel, and the other look and feels are called auxiliary.
