Ever do professional Swing development? I had lots of enterprise clients in the bad old days who demanded pixel-accurate Windows versions. I remember poor Josh Marinacci spent years sweating the details of the Windows L&F when he was at Sun. And I don't think he particularly liked Windows. As developers, it's not really up to us to decide what's "good enough" for a UI someone else will use, especially for productivity apps (like IDEs) in which the user may spend most or all of their working day. Experience has left me feeling that cross-platform UIs are one of those things that sound good on paper but never fully pan out in real life. -Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
