Re: leopard buttons without borders

Some look and feels paint the border as part of the background. The new Nimbus look and feel is one, and apparently some Linux look and feels (GTK?) do it too. It seems that this is acceptable because it is the only way to get the look right because of the way "skins" work. E.g. Nimbus text fields have the "border" cast a shadow in the text area.

Coincidence?

I frequently use buttons in my app where I take away the border by
calling JButton.setBorder(null). This works fine on a variety of
platforms, but someone recently sent me a screenshot from leopard and
the button borders were still there. I am planning to file a bug
report, but I thought someone here might have some input. Not sure
why apple would break this, but there might actually be a reason,
rather than accident.
