Etched borders and disabled components (menu items, buttons etc.) use wrong
colors under the Windows look and feel in Swing. The colors used (for shadow I
think) are gray instead of the actual darker shade of the main component color.
It's very obvious once you set the windows colors to something other than gray
and fire up any Windows application and compared what disabled items look like
in native Windows apps compared to Swing apps using the Windows look and feel.

Source for simple test case (run under Windows since it's a Windows L&F
specific bug):

---

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;

public class EtchedDisabledColorBug {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());

        JFrame f = new JFrame("EtchedDisabledColorBug");
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        Container c = f.getContentPane();

        FlowLayout layout = new FlowLayout();
        layout.setVgap(20);
        layout.setHgap(20);
        c.setLayout(layout);

        JPanel p = new JPanel();
        p.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300, 150));
        p.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Etched border"));

        JButton b = new JButton("Disabled button");
        b.setEnabled(false);
        p.add(b);

        c.add(p);

        f.setVisible(true);
        f.pack();
        
    }
