A Metalizer theme is an an instance of the 'IEqualizedTheme' interface. It has the following implementation:

	IEqualizedTheme myTheme = new EqualizedMetalTheme();

It has 6 values that can be changed: latitude, longitude, hue, saturation, brightness and color inversion. Open the theme selection dialog to find out your preferred values. Example:

	myTheme.getEqualization().setLatitude(37);
	myTheme.getEqualization().setLongitude(42);
	myTheme.getEqualization().setHue(90);
	myTheme.getEqualization().setSaturation(223);
	myTheme.getEqualization().setBrightness(107);
	myTheme.getEqualization().setColorsInverted(true);

To enable the theme, include the following code in your application before creating any controls:

	myTheme.activate();

Use the following code to open the theme selection window:

	boolean themeAccepted = ThemeEqualizerDialog.open(null, myTheme);
	if (themeAccepted) {
		System.out.println("Selected theme: " + myTheme);
	} else {
		System.out.println("Theme rejected. The initial look-and-feel should be restored");
	}
