JInternalFrames are implemented in the Aqua Look and Feel to fulfill
the compatibility requirements of the Java language specification
TCK. The JInternalFrame implementation is a gross violation of the
Apple Human Interface guidelines which explicitly forbids any sort
of MDI-like window-inside-of-a-window shenanigans. I don't recommend
any Swing developers use them on any platform.
While I both understand this and agree, it would be nice if the Aqua
LAF would provide a way to access the colors used to draw the title
bar gradients. Either as color UIResources or "painters" (Borders)
like you do for the source list background etc.
Right now it's very hard (read impossible) to properly implement a
unified toolbar or tabs like you mention without hardcoding color
values and/or resorting to native hacks (especially as long as the
"apple.awt.brushMetalLook" don't work for Java 6/64 bit).
