    - #### createUI

    - #### installUI

          public void installUI(JComponent c)

      Description copied from class: `ComponentUI`
      Configures the specified component appropriately for the look and feel. This method is invoked when the `ComponentUI` instance is being installed as the UI delegate on the specified component. This method should completely configure the component for the look and feel, including the following:
      1. Install default property values for color, fonts, borders, icons, opacity, etc. on the component. Whenever possible, property values initialized by the client program should not be overridden.
      2. Install a `LayoutManager` on the component if necessary.
      3. Create/add any required sub-components to the component.
      4. Create/install event listeners on the component.
      5. Create/install a `PropertyChangeListener` on the component in order to detect and respond to component property changes appropriately.
      6. Install keyboard UI (mnemonics, traversal, etc.) on the component.
      7. Initialize any appropriate instance data.
      Overrides:
        `installUI` in class `ComponentUI`
      Parameters:
        `c` - the component where this UI delegate is being installed
      See Also:
        `ComponentUI.uninstallUI(javax.swing.JComponent)`, `JComponent.setUI(javax.swing.plaf.ComponentUI)`, `JComponent.updateUI()`

    - #### uninstallUI

          public void uninstallUI(JComponent c)

      Description copied from class: `ComponentUI`
      Reverses configuration which was done on the specified component during `installUI`. This method is invoked when this `UIComponent` instance is being removed as the UI delegate for the specified component. This method should undo the configuration performed in `installUI`, being careful to leave the `JComponent` instance in a clean state (no extraneous listeners, look-and-feel-specific property objects, etc.). This should include the following:
      1. Remove any UI-set borders from the component.
      2. Remove any UI-set layout managers on the component.
      3. Remove any UI-added sub-components from the component.
      4. Remove any UI-added event/property listeners from the component.
      5. Remove any UI-installed keyboard UI from the component.
      6. Nullify any allocated instance data objects to allow for GC.
      Overrides:
        `uninstallUI` in class `ComponentUI`
      Parameters:
        `c` - the component from which this UI delegate is being removed; this argument is often ignored, but might be used if the UI object is stateless and shared by multiple components
      See Also:
        `ComponentUI.installUI(javax.swing.JComponent)`, `JComponent.updateUI()`

    - #### installDefaults

          protected void installDefaults(JComponent c)

    - #### uninstallDefaults

          protected void uninstallDefaults(JComponent c)
