Thanks Lori,

I tried to run the app with different LookAndFeel:
"javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel"
"com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel"

I looked into the redistribute directory under JBuilder and saw that 
Borland has a LookAndFeel that I want to test. I just can't find what 
string to use (or what to include or what I need) to even see it. I can 
work with it during design but not at runtime.

Do you know if the LookAndFeel might solve the lines  thing?
