JLayer - a way to beautify your UI

Dear Friends

Look at this video from Oracle. It introduces a swing component called JLayer that we can use in our screens mainly for special effects like highlighted certain fields (well the video will show you a lot more than i can say - A video says more than a 1000 words right).

The idea is to use JLayers over a panel, create a customized subclass of JLayerUI where you can mention the special effects you want.

Anyone wants to take this up?
