> You can't just assign it to a JScrollBar after the JScrollPane is created by just calling UIManager.setLookAndFeel, or by calling .updateUI() on the JScrollPane.  You have to call the setLookAndFeel before the JScrollPane is created, or get the scrollbar(s) from the JScrollPane and call their updateUI() method.  I was missing this in my test, took me awhile to realize.
