I plan to use the L&F for the OS that its running under... i.e. Mac on Mac, Windows on Windows, Metal wherever, but... > Switch the L&F in Foundation between Metal and Windows. In Windows > mode, what do you see that makes it not look like Windows? When I use Windows L&F on Windows, my complaint is that the font is too big. You may call it nitpicking but if I'm striving for a Windows L&F I prefer to do it correctly. It looks like Arial 10pt. I would prefer MS Sans Serif 8pt. I can live with Arial 8pt. I can do that by setting the font on each control but I would rather write a single line of code or a method to tweak the Windows L&F and then let all my controls get that setting. It may get a little goofy if I switch VMs but I have pretty tight control on what VM my users will use. Besides, one line of code or a single method call is easy to remove if I decide it was a bad idea later on. Any ideas? > (P.S. There is no Inprise VM. It's the stock one from Sun that we use) I stand corrected.
