thanks! But I won't start yet another cvs update today; I will test this
tomorrow...

No problem; I don't think we should strive for pixel-compatibility with Sun 
at all. IMO, the main point of plaf is that users recognize the look and
feel of the user interface, so that they unconsciously feel at home. 
(Given the recent trend of "skins" and completely non-standard Windows apps,
users are learning to become a little flexible anyway...)

But the free Swing *should* look good, and I personally would prefer
an extra pixel of space between the ticks and labels :-)
