### Dark Monkey
Dark Monkey is based on Nimrod Look and Feel so see [here](http://nilogonzalez.es/nimrodlf/download-en.html) to download it's source and Subclass whatever is needed. Nimrod also comes with those Icons (which are a bit low res, though.)  
See [here](https://github.com/frohoff/jdk8u-dev-jdk/blob/master/src/macosx/classes/com/apple/laf/AquaMenuBarUI.java) for AquaMenuBarUI (Apple's Centralized Menu Bar). The Plan was to have Dark Monkey use this bar, but it doesn't work since we can't have those com.apple.laf packages as dependency atm, so Reflection would be needed.
