A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
Ocean -- though it looks way better than Metal ever did, and is a great and welcome improvement -- is quite distracting when one has several Java applications on-screen, all with their own scroll bars.

JUSTIFICATION :
Mac OS X uses even brighter blue scrollbar thumbs than Ocean, but avoids being as visually distracting by coloring them gray when they aren't in the focused window.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The scrollbar thumbs should turn gray when their containing window loses the focus.

ACTUAL -
The scrollbars remain blue.
