Thanks for the reply, but it seems that only refers to Frames, where

similar method for Dialogs, but i didn't see anything of the sort.

you have any ideas?


A Dialog or JDialog always has a Frame as its parent (or as grand-parent, or as grand-grand-parent, or ...). See the javadoc of the dialog constructors. And even if Java might allow you to construct a Dialog with a null parent, then Java creates an invisble Frame behind the scenes to become the parent.
In short: the technique will catch all your dialogs, too.

I did some tests with JFrames and JDialogs. Unfortunately I must withdraw my above statement, and affirm the opposite. :-(
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(frame) does *not* reach the frame's dialogs. The dialogs keep their Look&Feel.
I don't know exactly why. Probably the frame/dialog relationship is somewhat different from the normal parent/child relationship in containers.
