The FileChooserUI of the Quaqua Look and Feel roughly matches the design of native file dialogs on Mac OS X 10.3 through 10.5 (Jaguar, Panther and Leopard).
The design is determined at startup.
You can force a specific style, by setting the system property Quaqua.design
to jaguar
or
to panther.
If
you want Quaqua to determine the design automatically, dont' set this property,
or specify
the value auto.

Changing the design like this, will also alter the design of other user interface elements. It is not recommended to use another style than the one used by the operating system. Or else you will see undesired artefacts, because Quaqua does not fully replace all user interface elements of the underlying Aqua Look and Feel by Apple.
You can use class JSheet to display a file chooser as a document modal sheet.
