			<h1>Swing Look and Feel</h1>

			<p>All existing <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/lookandfeel/">Swing look and feels</a> are horrible.  A good look and feel would:</p>

			<ul>
				<li>Have no white space around components.  The layout manager should handle this.</li>
				<li>Support <code>apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar</code>.</li>
				<li>When a text component loses focus, the selection should not disappear and the cursor should just stop blinking.</li>
				<li>Have a good reactionary (non-flat) aesthetic.</li>
			</ul>

			<p>You can read about my struggles with look and feels in this <a href="https://chatgpt.com/share/67fd89eb-872c-8013-ae98-653c99b9bc3c">ChatGPT thread</a>.  A reactionary look and feel is badly needed.</p>
