title: customize JMenuBar (e.g. BackgroundImage, highlighting color,...)
body: <p>I'd like to adapt/customize the appearance of my JMenuBar, so i do a little research. Now i wondering why there are so little information about this issue?!</p>
  
  <p>I just found one good source here: <a href="http://forums.sun.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://forums.sun.com</a> thread.jspa?messageID=4457769#4457769 which allows me to use a BackgroundImage for the MenuBar. The drawback is that i have to create such things like rollover effect (highlight BackgroundColor of JMenuItems), calculation of the jmenu positions by myself.</p>
  
  <p>Did anyone of you knows a better, easier way to approach my goal? All i'd like to do is to customize the background of the JMenuBar by displaying a image instead of a plain color. Further the rollover-Effekts and the normal behaviour of a menu should be obtained.</p>
