hi, I have the same problem. I have created swing application on older versions of netBeans5.0 and jdk 1.5. Output is smoother in older version as compare to newer versions. Particularly, whenever a button is clicked/pressed , on new versions, it shows a dotted box at border of the button. This is not the case with older version.
My button extends the class which changes the shape of button to oval, looks very ugly when clicked/pressed. It looks something like "dotted box cutting the oval button".
is there any solution?
