    Looks like if you switch the demo to another laf or theme, ther is no way to return to Nimbus. Not very easy to compare the lafs !

    Tree widget looks awful - is it being rendered properly?

    Excellent work! Using a demo as predicator for completion is likely to be misleading, but I have to say that from playing with SwingSet it seems that Nimbus is almost done!

    Pierre: Sorry you can’t switch between L&Fs in SwingSet, I am just using the jar that comes with the JDK and have not edited it for Nimbus. Its just something I have been using it during development but thought that it might be interesting.

    Jim: There are still components that are not done, Nimbus is early stages at the moment, look at https://nimbus.dev.java.net/project.html for status.

    Think you exception is probably just a network error downloading the SwingSet jar file. Have you tried it again? Do other webstart applications work for you?

    Awesome! Thank you Nimbus for saving the java desktop!! I do lots of swing development and often time rely on creating faux-widgets that rely on Java2d to jazz things up a bit. Was maybe going to focus on web development and AJAX, until now… Looks like there is still fun to be had w/ swing :)

    and btw… I LOVE YOU LARA :D
