JUSTIFICATION :
At the moment applications have to introduce new colors if they want to enrich their UI with gradients. These applications would get a more native look if they could use the native color-settings.
The gradient could for example be used for the caption of dockables.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Add the static fields java.awt.SystemColor.gradientActiveCaption and java.awt.SystemColor.gradientInactiveCaptionColor . These fields should be null if this information is not available.
Add the static fields java.awt.SystemColor.GRADIENT_ACTIVE_CAPTION and java.awt.SystemColor.GRADIENT_INACTIVE_CAPTION.
CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
use JNI
