I'm developing an Application which has a JFrame (Window) Containing a JDesktopPane containing JInternalFrame's. When I now set the Look&Feel for my Application all the JInternalFrames are painted according to the L&F. However the JFrame (out-most window) still looks like every other native-windows application.
Is there a way to let java paint the JFrame too?
(it seems it get's painted by windows)

No, it's a "Skin Look & Feel" (found it somewhere in google)
But i could also try to set another one...

Shirley Kidman did you try playing around with SwingSet2 (the supplied Swing demo) ?

Shirley Kidman , or just google " SwingSet2 java " (cant remember where it is put)
ah ! on my machine , the installer threw it at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_05\demo\jfc\SwingSet2
Also try http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/swing/JFrame.html#setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(boolean)
