--- Comment #6 from [email protected] 2011-10-14 16:04:07 UTC --- Created attachment 27775 --> https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=27775 LaF comparisons Dunno, don't like the Metal look (esp. the buttons) ... anyhow, my greatest problem is the Feel part anyhow, as any app you style in Metal does not feel like being part of the rest of the system (and that is meant in a _very_ negative way). So to come to a description of the image: #1 First of all the fonts are different which really annoys me as the Metal font is not nice to look at at all. Second the menu has a different layout (no dedicated space for symbols on the right). #2 shows the different open file dialogues, again of a random Win7 app (paint, i think), then the Metal one which has seriously limited functionality (no favourites on the left, no breadcrumb urls, generally different than the open file dialogues any other app uses which makes it hard to use), third the one that is shown when you activate the System LaF, which is the "legacy" XP-Style open dialogue (though no big deal, as many apps still use that). <rant>Anyhow, the whole Point of LaF is that you can get a native look on all platforms with minimal work, so defaulting to "Metal" (or any other look) on all platforms is like building a supercomputer farm to print out "hello world"</rant> -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
