Features of the JGoodies Looks
Simplifying Multi Platform Support
The JGoodies Looks help you support different Java versions and operating systems.
Each look&feel is consistent over the Java versions 1.4.2x,
1.5, and 1.6
- to the possible extent w.r.t. to features of the underlying Swing API.
Also, Plastic and the JGoodies Windows L&f use similiar
widget dimensions and widget font baselines to minimize layout
differences between these looks.
High-Fidelity Windows Appearance
The JGoodies Windows look&feel focuses on a precise emulation
of the Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/2003/XP/Vista flavors in the following areas:
menus, icons, colors, borders, fonts, font sizes, insets, and widget dimensions.
Furthermore, it honors the screen resolution (96dpi vs. 120 dpi)
to adjust size constants, insets, and widget dimensions.
Although Plastic is a multi-platform look&feel,
it works very well on all Windows platforms, including XP.
The Plastic color themes have been optimized for a harmonic
integration with the majority of desktops and
won't alienate a Windows user.
