Description ibrandt 2002-08-27 02:28:20 UTC 
Java 2 v1.4 added the ability for L&Fs to provide the 
window decorations (title bar, min, max, close, borders, 
etc.) as opposed to the decorations being provided by the 
native window manager in order to facilitate aesthetic 
consistency with inner frames, borders, color schemes, 
etc.  This would provide a nice enhancement to the look of 
NetBeans, especially in MDI mode.

Comment 6 Jesse Glick 2004-07-25 00:02:31 UTC 
May not be desirable in 4.0 now that the L&F is normally native anyway.
Comment 7 David Simonek 2004-10-26 18:09:03 UTC 
Yes I agree with Jesse. Unfortunately patch is obsolete now, we chose
to go in another direction in UI of whole IDE. We are trying to look
as native as we can, and so using regular OS titlebars is desirable.
Anyway thx Ian for a contribution.
Comment 8 Marian Mirilovic 2005-12-20 16:02:51 UTC 
This issue was solved long time ago. Because nobody has reopened it neither
added comments, we are verifying/closing it now. 
If you are still able to reproduce the problem, please reopen. 

Thanks in advance.
