Description
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
This is reproducable on any java 6 version. The problem does not exist in java 5
java -version
java version "1.6.0_06"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_06-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b22, mixed mode, sharing)
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Vista Home Premium
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Disable the windows "Smooth edges of screen fonts" effect from windows by right clicking on desktop, select appearance, then effects. Then uncheck the box titled "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen font "
Then run any swing app. You will notice the gui looks all weird. It has a particularly negative affect on tables. Table columns have weird boxes around them, it screws up the borders in cell editors, jbuttons with icons and text look weird, and various other issues are visible.
This problem came to my attention as a webex user. Webex disables this affect because it has a performance impact. Whenever I run webex with my swing app it looks horrible.
