             Summary: Modernize borders and tab controls in the Windows LAF
                 Key: NETBEANS-5673
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5673
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: platform - Window System
    Affects Versions: 12.4
         Environment: NetBeans IDE and NetBeans Platform applications on 
Windows LAF on Windows 10.
            Reporter: Eirik Bakke


The tab components used for TopComponents and the Project/Navigator sidebar 
look somewhat dated on the Windows LAF, and needs improvements for HiDPI 
screens. I'll be making improvements on this for my NetBeans Platform-based 
application, and will likely be making an upstream PR for this in the future 
(which will benefit the IDE and other NetBeans Platform apps).

Specific improvements planned:
 * Make the sidebar and TopComponent tabs consistent, and modernize the look of 
the tabs a bit.
 * Remove out-of-fashion gradients.
 * Remove out-of-fashion bevels.
 * Get rid of the extra borders in the sidebar (Projects/Files/Services in the 
IDE).
 * Make line thicknesses DPI-safe.
 * Make lines line up and connect on DPI scalings above 100%.



HiDPI icons for the Windows LAF tab controls were previously added in 
NETBEANS-1238.  Improvements to borders on HiDPI screens were done in 
NETBEANS-2646. Various other HiDPI fixes in the Windows LAF were done in 
NETBEANS-3592.
