Hi , as regards to the tool tip, the default the swing used is that of a jcomponent. If you want to be "different" from a standard look and feel, and you have to decide if this is a good idea, as do you want users to be able to change l&f to change the whole look of the system. If you do want to go this route then you can create your own tooltips, swing provides a Jtooltip, with this and work, you can redefine how tooltips look and feel. Look at overriding the createToolTip method, and see what you can gleen from there. ps you will also have to look at ToolTipManager too.
