Sure. But besides the look and colors there is some more in Swing, like
the LookAndFeel framework, which allows applications to modify the look
and feel. And for all the gradient using components, there is a property
XXX.gradient, which defines the parameters to be used for the gradient.
Hardcoding this kind of stuff for each component is more work and does
not help us much, because it is not compatible.

However, inspired by your work, I worked a little in this area on my
own. I 'decoded' the parameters and implemented the gradient using these
parameters. Here's my first result:

I'll check this in now, then you can read through
javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalUtils and the UI classes to find out how it
should work. :-)
