No, it does not depend on the platform you compile on, but on the 
platform that you are running on, or more accurately, the environment 
that you start the program in.  The AWT ToolKit gets these values from 
the host system.  For Windows, the information comes from the desktop 
configuration.  For Unix, this comes from somewhere in the Motif library, 
but I am not sure where it gets it from.  It may come from the window 
manager, or it may be hard coded, or maybe a little of each.

So under Windows, if you change your color scheme while a Java program is 
running, the program will not hear about the changes.  But if you restart 
your program, it will then get the colors for the new color scheme.
