What was interesting, and I'd like your viewpoint on, is that the 0.9 revs yielded an execuitable that had complete Aqua look and feel. While the latest 1.0 looked like what I have seen under linux.

This is expected behavior. In the 1.0b1 release, we force the Java Metal look and feel, because - in my judgement - the Aqua look and feel doesn't work right with JEmplode. You may notice missing controls, text boxes of incorrect sizes, button spacing which is just plain wrong, and other problems which make it not conform to the Aqua HI guidelines; and until it conforms, it probably shouldn't be used that way. Making it conform from within Java is very difficult (because you need to special-case lots of stuff, like "if I'm on Aqua, buttons need to be X pixels apart, but if I'm on Metal, they need to be Y pixels apart, and on Windows they need to be Z pixels apart"); so just using Metal really made the most sense.

When/if I get a chance to make a pure Cocoa version of the JEmplode UI, it will of course be fully Aqua-compliant. :)
