Need to refine current borders
First step. We might select better color. Now we use InternalFrame.borderShadow. Modified: /cvs/core/swing/plaf/src/org/netbeans/swing/plaf/gtk/GtkLFCustoms.java new revision: 1.19; previous revision: 1.18
For nicer borders I did the following: Instead of Border lowerBorder = new AdaptiveMatteBorder (false, true, true, true, 3);//old I wrote: Border lowerBorder = new AdaptiveMatteBorder(true, true, true, true, 0);//new in GtkLFCustoms.java from Milestone 6 around line 46 See here for results : http://jroller.org/page/ramlog?entry=netbeans_and_yet_another_gtk http://jroller.org/page/ramlog?entry=beautiful_netbeans_3 It's not perfect but it looks much improved this way. Please integrate this "patch" for user's sake (at least temporarily)
Your current border has insets 1 on all 4 sides. Our current border is not painted on top. We want separate border on top painted by tabs similar to strip painted by JTabbedPane. Another open question is color selection. We need to select color from available UIManager theme colors which will be nice for all (most) themes.
