How do I correct the default look and feel from main, java netbeans?

Good afternoon mates,

Currently I have the last problem with my project software and thank heaven it is nothing more than aesthetic.

I'm doing the project with MVC and since I already have all the views with the "nimbus" look and feel, I'll show you the login below.

Nimbus Style Login

But I make the call from the main using the following code

public static void main(String[] args) {
        Vista_Login VistaL = new Vista_Login();
        Modelo_AdministradorDAO ModeloAdminDAO = new Modelo_AdministradorDAO();
        Modelo_MedicoDAO ModeloMedDAO= new Modelo_MedicoDAO();
        Modelo_PacienteDAO ModeloPacDAO= new Modelo_PacienteDAO();
        Controlador_Login ControladorL = new Controlador_Login(VistaL, ModeloAdminDAO, ModeloMedDAO, ModeloPacDAO);
        ControladorL.InicializarLogin();
    }

The ControllerL.InitializeLogin(); contains the following:

public void InicializarLogin (){
        VistaLog.setVisible(true);
        VistaLog.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    }

So from what you see, it's nothing to write home about.

But when executing the main, the login loses the nimbus style and the windows style appears, like this:

Windows style login

Which leaves me wondering how to fix it. The view doesn't have any code, it just has the components.

How do I get the nimbus style to run and persist during program execution?

java

    The main()first thing you should do is set the LAF with the method UIManager.setLookAndFeel():

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    for (LookAndFeelInfo info : UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels()) {
        if ("Nimbus".equals(info.getName())) {
            UIManager.setLookAndFeel(info.getClassName());
            break;
        }
    }
    Vista_Login VistaL = new Vista_Login();

    You only have to do it once and it is recommended to do it at startup because from then on all UI Components will use the specified LAF.
