/**
* Registers a third party component with the NimbusLookAndFeel.
*
* <p>Regions represent Components and areas within Components that act as independent painting
* areas. Once registered with the NimbusLookAndFeel, NimbusStyles for these Regions can be
* retrieved via the <code>getStyle</code> method.
*
* <p>The NimbusLookAndFeel uses a standard naming scheme for entries in the UIDefaults table. The
* key for each property, state, painter, and other default registered in UIDefaults for a
* specific Region will begin with the specified <code>prefix</code>
*
* <p>For example, suppose I had a component named JFoo. Suppose I then registered this component
* with the NimbusLookAndFeel in this manner:
*
* <pre><code>
* laf.register(NimbusFooUI.FOO_REGION, "Foo");
* </code></pre>
*
* <p>In this case, I could then register properties for this component with UIDefaults in the
* following manner:
*
* <pre><code>
* UIManager.put("Foo.background", new ColorUIResource(Color.BLACK));
* UIManager.put("Foo.Enabled.backgroundPainter", new FooBackgroundPainter());
* </code></pre>
*
* <p>It is also possible to register a named component with Nimbus. For example, suppose you
* wanted to style the background of a JPanel named "MyPanel" differently from other JPanels. You
* could accomplish this by doing the following:
*
* <pre><code>
* laf.register(Region.PANEL, "\"MyPanel\"");
* UIManager.put("\"MyPanel\".background", new ColorUIResource(Color.RED));
* </code></pre>
*
* @param region The Synth Region that is being registered. Such as Button, or ScrollBarThumb, or
* NimbusFooUI.FOO_REGION.
* @param prefix The UIDefault prefix. For example, could be ComboBox, or if a named components,
* "MyComboBox", or even something like ToolBar."MyComboBox"."ComboBox.arrowButton"
