JDK-6403544 - vista: Popup Menu is not matching with native popup menu
Description
Attached are two screenshots taken on Vista b5342: the native tray
popup, and one provided by AWT's SystemTray API.

The SystemTray popup looks very different from a native popup:
it lacks the horizontal and vertical dividers, and the item selection
color is different.
removed old desc.
Comments
EVALUATION It's simple to see differences by comparing native menu on Vista with native menu on XP. AWT menu item is owner-drawn menu item and so AWT menu is not compatible with menu on Vista.

EVALUATION perhaps the cause is that AWT menus looks very different from native ones on Vista (need to check this)
