Tom:

The fastest way to get 3D is to implement the Windows L&F for your App
instead of the flat, ugly metal that you get by Default.

Searching on lightweight at the Javasoft site should get you to the
articles where they talk about making round buttons, etc.  Not the
most efficient search, but I don't have a link I can post.

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
