Question: Gui Looks Different

I am a fairly new java developer, so the answer to my question may be
obvious to the veterans, but it is not obvious to me, so here goes. I
have an application that has several progress bars and other guid
widgets in it. On the system (a desktop with CRT) where the code was
developed the GUI looks normal. If I run the same code on my laptop,
the app still runs but the GUI is not drawn correctly. Is there a fix
(easy or otherwise) for this? Many thanks in advance,
Ken Browning
