I think you'll find on a Windows system the color assignments for named color schemes are detected at run-time, NOT at compile time. If you compile and run on a different box (bugs permitting, even a different JVM) the Local color assignments will be used. I'm not certain, but I don't think Java code can get to the actual color associations set at OS level under Windows. I'd expect the JVM to handle this internally. It's a pain to get these parameters from WinAPI in a pure Windows program, WinAPI functions are even less accessible to Java code - and native code methods it would be incompatible with other platform JVMs. -- pf
