How would you recommend I go about implementing this L&F? Would I need to create my own Theme, perhaps using Terra as a base? Could you please also explain the relation between Themes and Skins. Would I be correct in saying that, if we had to compare to Swing, Themes would equate to LookAndFeels while Skins would equate to UIDelegates (so all the Java2D code would sit in the Skin implementations)?
Lastly, is it actually possible to create decorated frames with Pivot (like you would in Swing by setting JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated)?
