How to make JProgressBar match Windows LaF?

I've been working for a while with JProgressBar using WindowsLookAndFeel, but I found some major differences from the native progress bar:

Here is the native bar, in its regular state:

While this is Java's:

A sharp eye might see Java's top white color much brighter, and the green a little brighter too. Also the native is "filled" while Java's has an empty border.

Now, the native indeterminate:

And Java's:

enter image description here

The flicker is much shorter, and much much faster (not shown). Also as the native could look like a glow, Java's looks much like a "comet" (with a tail, only from one side...).

And my final question, the blocked bar:

Can this be done in Java?

blocked bar with red Color were solved here a few times, including Colors from rainbow in JProgressBar, please whats goal???, only to create similar color scheme as in Win7, notice most o users to change Color in Win theme (inc. me == Orange), about to create indeterminate, isn't an issue somehow, search in post by @trashgod – Matildematin
best of post about JProgressBar are in posts by @aterai, have to use GradientPaint instead of solid Colors – Matildematin

  • This is just an example for the final question:
    • Windows 7 (green progress bar)
    • JDK 1.7.0_25 (WindowsLookAndFeel)

This is what it looks like in Windows 8.1: i.imgur.com/nUYsSkB.png Unfortunately does not work that well. – Temper
