The banner shows up to distinguish the applet windows from other top-level
windows. It's possible red might be a little too harsh but we wanted
to prevent applets from putting up a window that asks the user to enter
a password or something like that without there being a clear distinction
from other windows. This also means that the browser runtime can put
up windows that look different from the windows an applet can put up
so there's a way for trusted code to interact with the user.

|When I create a popup window from an applet, it shows up with a huge
|red bar along the top that says "Warning: Applet Window."
|
|Why?
|
|Is there something bad about popup windows from applets? Are we not supposed
|to be using them?
