NetBeans IDE and NetBeans Platform applications on Windows LAF on Windows 10.
Description
The tab components used for TopComponents and the Project/Navigator sidebar look somewhat dated on the Windows LAF, and need improvements for HiDPI screens. I'll be making improvements on this for my NetBeans Platform-based application, and will likely be making an upstream PR for this in the future (which will benefit the IDE and other NetBeans Platform apps).
Specific improvements planned:
- Make the sidebar and TopComponent tabs consistent, and modernize the look of the tabs a bit.
- Remove out-of-fashion gradients.
- Remove out-of-fashion bevels.
- Get rid of the extra borders in the sidebar (Projects/Files/Services in the IDE).
- Make line thicknesses HiDPI-safe.
- Make lines line up and connect on HiDPI scalings above 100%.
HiDPI icons for the Windows LAF tab controls were previously added in NETBEANS-1238. Improvements to borders on HiDPI screens were done in NETBEANS-2646. Various other HiDPI fixes in the Windows LAF were done in NETBEANS-3592.
