Re: Determine appearance settings

> Why not?

Because Java provides a better and more elegant solution to determine the
colors of GUI objects.

--- snip ---
A class to encapsulate symbolic colors representing the color of native GUI
objects on a system. For systems which support the dynamic update of the
system colors (when the user changes the colors) the actual RGB values of
these symbolic colors will also change dynamically.

As Tim already mentioned, it's more a hack than an elegant way.

You surely remember the modifications of the aqua buttons look from Jaguar
to Panther? Future changes of the aqua look may cause a wrong behavior in my
components.

Hoping that apple will change this issue in the next java release. :)

Have a nice weekend.
