> In a previous PR ( https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/2967 ), the tab
> components in the NetBeans window system were redesigned and modernized for
> the Windows LAF. This PR ports related tabcontrol improvements back into
> FlatLAF, and proposes a similar tab style for FlatLAF. See the attached
> screenshots.
> The proposed style, compared to the current FlatLAF style, makes the selected
> tab look like an actual "tab" with an actual rectangular border around it,
> while keeping the much simpler "separators only" look for unselected tabs.
> The proposed style also tightens up vertical space significantly, like in
> other LAFs. See the attached screenshots. The new tab controls work well on
> all HiDPI scaling levels, and on all platforms (Windows, Linux, MacOS).
> Advantages of the proposed tabcontrol style:
> * Other applications that have tabs as part of their window system still tend
> to render at least the active window system tab as an actual "tabs", e.g.
> Chrome, Excel, Photoshop, Unity.
> * Personally, I find it hard to orient my eyes around the old FlatLAF tab
> style; the drawn selected tab seems to fix this. (Hard to explain in a fully
> objective way!)
> * The tab content areas (contents of editor, projects pane, navigator pane
> etc.) has borders around them, so it is logical that the border continues
> around the tab that is associated with them.
> * Conserve vertical space. Modern monitors have tended to become wider but
> not taller. With e.g. 2x HiDPI scaling (as on all MacBooks), there may
> actually be _fewer_ logical pixels available in the vertical direction than
> on older laptop screens.
> This PR also removes an extraneous border around the editor area, and
> introduces a little bit of extra space in the toolbar area.
> I've been using FlatLAF as the default LAF on Linux for my NetBeans Platform
> application. It handles HiDPI scaling very well, and it's getting really
> solid--thanks to @DevCharly for all his work on it!
