Check out Substance https://substance.dev.java.net/see.html

You can change the title bar look and feel with substance support.

Answer 2

Some PL&Fs support rendering frame decorations, and some do not. I believe the Sun cross-platform PL&Fs (for instance Metal) support it, but platfrom-specific PL&F (for instance Windows) do not.

The feature is not on by default. To switch it on for all new frames use JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated. The API docs for the method show how to switch it on for frames individually.
