Created attachment 119551 [details] Comparison of editor tabs with JTabbedPane In a JTabbedPane in Nimbus, unselected tabs have approximately equal amounts of padding above and below the text, so they look "balanced"; the thin brighter-blue line beneath all the tabs which abuts the selected tab sort of adds extra padding below the text of the selected tab. In a NetBeans editor tab row, the padding above the tab text is correct, but there is little or no padding below the tab text. The result looks reasonable for the selected tab but makes unselected tabs look truncated on the bottom.
I moved text and icon one pixel up so it looks better now. core-main 312346d13f20
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201205190400* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-golden/rev/312346d13f20 User: S. Aubrecht <saubrecht@netbeans.org> Log: #212609 - Incorrect editor tab alignment in Nimbus
Looks better now. BTW a semirelated nit: there is insufficient left padding on the icon of the leftmost editor tab.
