JIT and LookAndFeel

[willrice]

@jules on instantiating individual components in the Projucer w/ LookAndFeel:

@jules

If you put your look+feel setup in your normal app or window constructor, then the projucer will never run that code - remember that it just instantiates the component that you open, it doesn’t call main().

A more foolproof way to do it would be to use something like a SharedResourcePointer which creates your custom look, and then make your individual components reference that. Then when the projucer uses a component which uses this shared object, it’ll get created and used.

See the following threads on the topic:

Default LookAndFeel in Projucer project
SharedResourcePointer to LookAndFeel

I would really love to see an official demo of the most elegant solution to this problem.
