General Options
The global options are used by the JGoodies Windows L&f
and the JGoodies Plastic L&f family. They can help you
get a better multi-platform appearance and Windows emulation.
Button Margins
This option enables you to use narrow button margins,
that better comply with native widget sets, especially
the Windows widgetry. For backward compatibility
you can disable this feature.
Tab Icons
This features enables or disables icons in JTabbedPanes.
Popup Shadows
You can enable or disable drop shadows for popup menus.
As of the Looks 2.0 this feature is enabled on modern
Windows (98/ME/2000/2003/XP/Vista) and disabled otherwise.
Note that this feature may be inactive even though it is enabled.
For example drop shadows are always inactive on the Mac OS X,
because this platform already uses native drop shadows.
See also Options#isPopupDropShadowActive().
Plastic Tab Style
Enables you to choose a style for Plastic TabbedPanes,
the default flat Plastic style, vs. the Metal L&F tab style.
Plastic Focus Contrast
Allows you to choose a focus color contrast style: low vs. high.
The low contrast focus colors look good, where the
high contrast focus colors are easier to perceive.
