Ken,

The reason that you see the frame in windows-style and the rest in other
style is
that the drawing of class JFrame is done by the operating system.
so if you're working under windows the outer frame will have the windows
look and feel.
Most other components, like JInternalFrame, are controlled totally (and so,
drawn totally) by java.
So, if you have something like

UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getCrossPlatformLookAndFeelClassName());

then the outer frame looks like windows and the rest will have the metal
look.
On another OS the outer look will change, however.
