As I'm about to upload my assignment, I'm just wondering if someone already used the new Nimbus LaF as the default LaF for their GUI.
I don't think I'll be the first to use this LaF in my assignment, since Sun added Nimbus to the JDK/JRE since 1.6.0 update 10.
I didn't use nimbus L&F but you better test it on both windows and unix/linux so that they are indeed the same. Because if you didn't set any L&F, windows will use the windows L&F and unix/linux will use the metal L&F.
May I should use the nimbus L&F in my own gui swing apps.
I am going to use that one, too. Made my GUI look so much better! Supposedly has a small footprint, too. I wasn't setting a look and feel at all, previously. I need to make a few small adjustments to some of my manually impositioned elements but the overall visual is much better.
