Screenshot of GTK menu

Netbeans menus look terrible in Ubuntu: disabled items are actually emphasized, separators are not rendered, and the menu has no border. 

To make the menus non-horrific, I have to either use a non-GTK look and feel or change to a light theme (e.g. clearlooks).  Neither of these is satisfactory.

Comment 1 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2011-06-27 09:21:15 UTC 
For the missing menu borders we are tracking a JDK bug already, see issue 182481.

Reassigning to Window System where L&F specific bugs belong.
Comment 2 Stanislav Aubrecht 2011-06-27 13:09:01 UTC 
it's a JDK problem. try running a plain java application, e.g. SwingSet demo in your JDK folder, you'll get the same appearance issues
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2012-05-02 14:56:15 UTC 
Was this filed for the JDK? There should be a jdk_bug_NNNNNNN annotation in the status whiteboard.
