I'm having a problem getting my JFrame to change LookAndFeel. No matter
what I set it to the outside of the frame always looks the same. If I
change the LAF to Motif the color of the inside of the frame changes but
not the frame decorations themselves. Windows 8.1, Java 8u31.

Any ideas?

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class test {
     static Map<String,String> map = new HashMap<>();

     public static void main(String... args) {
         for (UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo info :
          UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels()) {
             map.put(info.getName(),info.getClassName());
             System.out.println(info.getName());
         }

         EventQueue.invokeLater(() -> {
             try {
                 UIManager.setLookAndFeel(map.get("Nimbus"));
             } catch (Exception e) {
                 e.printStackTrace();
             }
             JFrame f = new JFrame();
             f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
             f.setSize(400,300);
             f.setVisible(true);
         });
     }
}
