I am not sure that this approach is very intuative - perhaps by replacing the progress bar with a "Download Complete", and/or changing the "Cancel" to a "Discard" button when the download completes. > > It would be cool to be able to view a downloaded file (assuming it is > > ascii text) without having to save it. > Later, someone was talking about MIME, I want if they come up with anything. > Maybe I would add an simplified version. Yeah, a mechanism to indicate the file-type may be incorporated in the future - but I am really just talking about a "Preview" mechanism which would assume the file is ASCII text. > I see your point.

Basically it is simple, you use pre-drawn images instead of AWT widgets, these could even be themeable! It means that you don't need to rely on potentially screwy AWT rendering, it looks the same on all platforms, and it seems to be the fashion these days anyway. Take a look at software like Winamp, Xmms, or even Mozilla to see what I mean. I am sure some people will recoil in revulsion at this idea, but the simple fact is that the Java AWT rendering is pants on some platforms.
