As part of Desktop Java Live, I thought it would be a good idea to provide examples of customizing a few ComponentUI's. I figured that tabbed panes and scroll bars would be nice nontrivial choices. Well I started digging in the BasicScrollBarUI last night to refresh my memory and was surprised at what I found ... it implements it own layout manager among other things. Further complicating matters is that it also contains a listener that directly calls layoutContainer when the scroll bar model changes. I'm debating whether to even try working around the design of BasicScrollBarUI or writing my own clean room implementation.
