Substance and MacOS MenuBar


I have a Class MainWindow which extends JFrame. In MainWindow i have a JMenuBar.

I want to show the MenuBar in OSX on top (next to the Apple Symbol). This only works, when i dont set a Substance Skin. Is it possible to use a Substance Skin and use The MacOS MenuBar?

My Code:

//Set Menu for MacOS
System.setProperty("apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar", "true");
System.setProperty("com.apple.mrj.application.apple.menu.about.name", name);

try {
    SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {  
        public void run() {
            SubstanceSkin skin = new GraphiteGlassSkin();
            SubstanceLookAndFeel.setSkin(skin); //WORKS WHEN I COMMENT THIS (WITHOUT SUBSTANCE SKIN)
            JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(false);
            MainWindow mainWindow = new MainWindow(name);
            mainWindow.setVisible(true);
        }  
    });
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}
