> The tab components used by the window system on the Aqua (MacOS) LAF have a
> few visual imperfections when scaled up for Retina displays. It'll be good to
> fix these, as was done for the Windows LAF in NETBEANS-5673. Since Retina
> displays are always scaled at exactly 2x, this should be a lot easier than on
> Windows, where fractional scalings like 150% tend to cause a lot of headaches.
> The Aqua LAF otherwise looks reasonably modern. It's fairly consistent with
> the look of native apps on MacOS Catalina. On MacOS Big Sur, the visual style
> has changed a bit, with either bright or dark colors depending on light/dark
> mode (rather than midtone greys), and "glass pane" textures rather than
> metallic surface gradients. It's probably best to keep the existing Aqua LAF
> style for now, though perhaps some of the bevel effects could go away to make
> it look more up-to-date.
