Hello Kevin
> The Aqua LaF is chosen by javax.swing.UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName() if the OSType is MACOSX and the current toolkit is LWCToolkit (otherwise, we use Metal).
I can see it now
So you've changed the UIManager class to support it,
I checked that we don't have that check in UIManager from official
Oracale JDK
We'll have to merge it somehow
Do you know any other places where MacOS JDK shared code is different
from Oracle JDK?
Thanks

>> UIManager spec tells the following:

>> *<li>If the system property<code>swing.defaultlaf</code> is
>> * {@code non-null}, use its value as the default look and feel class
>> * name.
>> *<li>If the {@link java.util.Properties} file<code>swing.properties</code>
>> * exists and contains the key<code>swing.defaultlaf</code>,
>> * use its value as the default look and feel class name.
>> *<li>Otherwise use the cross platform look and feel.

>> So if you don't use the property file by default, you should be setting swing.defaultlaf somewhere.
> The swing.defaultlaf property is set (for MACOSX only) in javax.swing.UIManager.loadSwingProperties(). It will be overridden if the user specifies a default LaF at the command line.
