Well I already started working on the Aqua LaF for this so I'll continue. I've already implemented a few things that have always bugged me about Apple's implementation, such as:
1. Tool Tips now dissolve like they do on normal Mac apps, they don't just cut away. Also, they stay up for 10 seconds, not 4. 2. Full Keyboard access is honored (so far my implementation has JButtons only), but when Off, no JButtons are focusable. 3. All drawing code will be done purely in Java2D, no native callbacks to paint native widgets. I also have plans to implement a full screen menu bar that fully implements the JMenuItem/JMenuBar APIs, ie., honors custom drawing. It should be possible in native code, as NSMenuItems support custom NSViews. etc. :) Rob On Nov 14, 2010, at 8:15 AM, Puybaret wrote: >> In any case, for all you guys who have skills to work on OpenJDK and Mac >> OS X, recall that OpenJDK... is open!
