Hi,

The prettiness is done by the GNU Classpath (CP) library.

Both SableVM and Kaffe use CP but SableVM may possibly use a more
recent version of CP.  It actually depend on which version of Kaffe and
SableVM you are using.  If you are using SableVM 1.1.3 then it is using
a snapshot of CP taken on Monday March 29 that is more recent than the
latest CP release (0.08).  Kaffe may be using an older version of CP
(possibly 0.08), I don't know.  In the long term, there will not be much=20
of a difference on the pretty side.  It may happens that SableVM just
have a set of recent changes that affect the appearence that Kaffe
does not yet included.
