[cp-patches] FYI: Metal L&F gradients

[Roman Kennke]

Hi there,

I added the new gradient painting code to some Swing components and the
result is this (Our Swing demo with the Ocean Theme):

Note that the OceanTheme (and the MetalL&F) still has its quirks, so I
won't make it the default still. Mostly. Some borders must be adjusted
(you see it in the screenshots, look at the buttons at the bottom), and
some icons should also be gradiented. There seems to be a problem with
the RadioButtonIcon, since that is not a rectangle but a circle, and we
would have to set a circular clip. I don't know if that is possible
with plain Graphics, maybe we have to implement a workaroud for such
things.
