Answer 1

Actually not true

new JTabbedPane().setUI(new YourUI());

and then you create your simple UI

public class YourUI extends BasicTabbedPaneUI{

.....

private class ScrollableTabPanel extends JPanel implements UIResource {
public ScrollableTabPanel() {
    setLayout(null);
}

public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {

super.paintComponent(g);

g.setColor(Color.red);
g.fillRect(tabPane.getBounds());            

        }
    }

....

}

There is how it should look like (don't mind the QuadSpline tabs and close bars thats another add-ons of my UI implementation), my reputation here is none so there is a link to the image
