Windows Look and Feel Fidelity 0.3 Released

Release 0.3 of WinLAF is available. This release fixes the following Windows look and feel fidelity problems in Swing:

  • JOptionPane icons use correct icons on Windows XP
  • JTree folder icons use correct icons on Windows XP
  • Menu item text lines up properly on the left edge when there are icons
  • Selection color for JTree cells is changed when the cell does not have focus

...and includes fixes for a further 9 Windows Look and Feel issues from previous releases.

The winlaf project aims to provide a common place for Swing developers to track inconsistencies in the Windows Look and Feel. One goal of the project is to provide a common source of utilities that work around consistency issues. The hope is that eventually, many of the utilities provided here won't be necessary and the underlying issues will be fixed in Java itself. In the meantime, the winlaf project provides a way to make Java applications under the Windows Look & Feel appear as close to their native counterparts as possible.
