Oleg,

I was less concerned about the graphic appearance than the
fact that most (all that I know of) applications put their
menu items e.g. File Edit Run Tools Studio Window Help (for
.ijs or .ijx windows) on the main (top of screen) menu bar.
In J's case, the only thing on that bar is the Apple and the
Japp item (I have mine named J601) which has "About J601"
(pretty boring just containing "java") Hide, Show, and Quit.

I have spent so many hours of my life diddling pixels for
box drawing characters that I try to avoid them if possible!
I find the ASCII boxes to be very nice with almost zerol
problems to send in email etc.

I'm happy with the default fonts in the ubeta install.

I do like the way drawing things (your examples etc.) are
working - maybe I can drum up some enthusiam to do things
with them. I agree that they are quite pretty.

It makes me wonder if you selected Mac OS X
Look and Feel under  Configuration | Java Settings.

Also fonts are worth adjusting for beta u

Fix Pitch font
     "DejaVu Sans Mono" 9  -  for box drawing

Forms font
     "Geneva" 9

Note: font sizes now are platform neutral,
point units with 96 DPI, like in Safari.

 bundles use. By the way, having the JW menu on the ijs etc.
 pane instead of the main menu bar is "non-standard" and
 not as pretty as if the menu items were on the main bar and
 had effect on which ever pane was in keyboard focus. This
 standard/common Mac convention, quite unusual to have
