You don't have jdk 6u10 on Mac, do you? - Igor Sereda
@igor 64bit only, and i'm not sure about the minor v - Alexey Pegov
@alexey: 6u10 is the so called "consumer jre", it's more likely the next major release (since number 7 is already taken). it's not the ordinary j2se 6.x that has been ported to Mac. see https://jdk6.dev.java.net/6u10... - Igor Sereda
@igor ok, now i got it. anyway, it seems like the tranclucent windows is available on win platform only: "Hardware acceleration support: Java SE 6 Update 10 introduces a fully hardware accelerated graphics pipeline based on the Microsoft Direct3D 9 API, translating into improved rendering of Swing applications which rely on translucency, gradients, arbitrary transformations, and other more advanced 2D operations." - Alexey Pegov
rounded corners without smoothing are ugly anyway - Igor Sereda
