When using the NetBeans GUI Builder the "Preview Design" feature shows the panel with the system look and feel (e.g. Windows). Now I want to preview my panel with a different LaF to get all the gaps and spaces right. Is there a way to tell the gui builder to display the panel with a different LaF?

Inspector > Right click on your JFrame > Preview Design
