I heard that Nimbus might include a UIDefaults editor tool to allow for quick manipulation and persistence of values. Is this true?

It’s all very nice. At first I thought the scrollbars were way too funky, but now I’m starting to like how they hang off the edge of the content they’re scrolling. I also appreciate how the mouse-over effect is kept subtle. The colorful window controls are perfect — far better than Windows XP, and less abstract than Mac OS X. This will make a big difference!

Hurray for someone to finally try a full LnF with Synth. Maybe finally the bugs will get fixed.
I noticed many many issues with the SwingSet demo. E.g. tabs only work on the “top”, one-click-expandable on a splitter has no visual component, focus is always painted on JButtons, but never on radio buttons.
I realize that Nimbus LnF is a work in progress.. but I wonder how many of these issues are related to bugs in Synth? I looked into doing a LnF in Synth back with Java 5.. and well, it wasn’t possible. I suspect even though Java 6 fixed a few things it still isn’t possible. Basically Synth has been dead weight in the JRE for two major revisions now. I really hope that this project results in that being fixed.

dhilsuk: Marco’s right. As an alpha, Nimbus is incomplete. Once we designate a beta release, that means its roughly feature complete but needs polishing and debugging. We are targetting JavaOne for a beta release.

dhilshuk: I’ve ran into the same trap – Nimbus is far from being finished and several components are not yet supported. See https://nimbus.dev.java.net/project.html for the current project state
