Description

JGoodies Looks (http://www.jgoodies.com/freeware/libraries/looks/) is a Swing look&feel library for Windows platform.

The main advantage of the library is (quoted from their home page):

Our Windows look&feel focuses on a precise emulation on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and now Windows 10 in the following areas: menus, icons, colors, borders, fonts, font sizes, insets, and widget dimensions. It honors the screen resolution (low vs. high dpi) to adjust sizes, insets, and widget dimensions.

The library works fine on Java11, relatively light weight (400KB), has no other external dependencies, and distributed under 2-Clause BSD License (see: http://www.jgoodies.com/downloads/libraries/).

 

Actually, I forgot to include this when migrating Luke from the GitHub repo to Lucene project...
