 Actually I had done both.

 If you go:

  JFrame JFrm = new JFrame(" Seting Parsing Rules for: ");
  Clr = UIManager.getColor(JFrm);
System.out.println("// __ UIManager.getColor(JFrm): |" + Clr + "|");

 you will get:

// __ UIManager.getColor(JFrm): |null|

> You might try to dump all the UIManager keys
(UIManager.getDefaults().keySet()) and look for the appropriate key.

 That I did also via:

  String aKey;
  Hashtable HTUIDef = UIManager.getDefaults();
  Enumeration HTKeys = HTUIDef.keys();
  while(HTKeys.hasMoreElements()){
   Object ObjKey = HTKeys.nextElement();
   if(ObjKey instanceof String){
. . .
   }
  }

 But I don't see which of these is the one I need

sh-3.1# cat t.txt | grep Color
// __ |TabbedPane.contentAreaColor|
// __ |List.dropLineColor|
// __ |InternalFrame.borderColor|
// __ |ToolBar.borderColor|

 They are nuanced behaviours but I am trying to be a little more intuitive
to the user (in my understanding) and make the best use of the window's
real estate

 Thank you Daniele.
 Daniele for president!!! ;-) (Well, I could tell you may not be that bored
to become a politician)
