Hi there,
Remember my question about the font being BOLD and when the mouse hovers for
the first time on it the font becomes PLAIN?
Well, I tested it on JBuilder 6.0, I switched to Metal L&F and as soon as I
did it all the menus were with BOLD fonts and when I hovered on them they
became PLAIN. It looks like it is a bug in the jre unless JBuilder's people
also don't know how to instantiate swing components... :o)
Sincerely,
