        The Java Control Panel does not look correct when run on Mac OS X. Compare against /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app

        Specifically:

        - Group boxes, such as those found around the About, Network Settings, and Temp files on the general panel should not have a lined border. Instead, they should have a rounded rect border with the title just outside the content.

        - The window has a minimize button enabled when the window cannot be resized.

        - The table shown for 'Java Runtime Environment Settings' (Java -> View...) draws an outline around the row, even when nothing is selected.

        - Popup dialogs such as the Certificates dialog, do not need a separate Close button. The window has a close button already in the top-left.

        - Disclosure triangles in the Advanced panel are discouraged on the Mac. There aren't enough items that require them to be hidden.

        - Items in the advanced panel should not get a blue background when clicked on. This highlighting truncates the label of the item.

        - The font and control size of the items in the advanced panel is too large. There is a 'smaller' item size that should be used in a list like this.

        - The panel is too small. Instead of putting the settings in a scroll view, widen the window so users don't have to scroll to see the text.

        - The content pane of tab items should be transparent so the darker background of the tab pane shows through.
