Many applets have been carefully designed to work well with the Windows implementation of the AWT, and don't work well with other AWTs. Rebuilding the Sun JDK with other toolkits would be a nasty job, but you might try running the applets under Kaffe (which uses its own non-Motif AWT) to see how they look. The difficulty of building decent portable GUIs is the main reason the AWT is considered inadequate and Swing was written as a portable replacement. (Unfortunately, this isn't much help to those writing applets for obsolete Java environments running on Windows machines.)
