Tom,
I quickly reviewed your issue. I think it may have to do with setting your
UIManger to the o/s system lookAndFeel (LAF) instance. I believe Metal
(Java) LAF is the default. Try using the following
public StatusGUI( )
{
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
this.setTitle( "Microsoft Outlook Look Alike" );
...
...
I believe this will work. Let me know.
Take It Easy,
Michael
