Hi Jon,

Yeah, a change to the L&F will change over all the components (or at
least all components from that point forward -- the behavior for
existing components is kind of strange).

You can get the current L&F by doing:

LookAndFeel laf = UIManager.getLookAndFeel();

Then call the directory chooser. Afterward, you can reset the L&F with:

UIManager.setLookAndFeel(laf);

HTH,
Curtis
