Description mjreged 2009-02-04 15:48:01 UTC 
Please people do something about the Nimbus Tab UI in netbeans. So large, too dark blue color makes it hard to read the 
label on the tab, squished together dark ugly borders. What a disaster, I don't understand why netbeans has to renderer 
custom made tabs.  If you take GTk look and feel you will see that all tabs in netbeans follow consistent look, so why 
this is not true in windows and for other look and feels like Nimbus.
