I have the class below, implementing TableCellRenderer
to use as a custom-renderer for my ColumnHeaders in a JTable.

It works great concerning foreground-color, background-color
and font type/style, but when it comes to the border it
fails me a little bit...:

I would have thought that the line:
  setBorder( new LineBorder(Color.decode("#536B7D"),1, false));
would give me a single pixel thick border that matched the thickness
of the cells in the table itself.

But it gives me a fatter (2px) wide border around each column header.
I try to achieve a 'flat' look on the column-headers...

Anyone have a tip to what I do wrong?
