Thanks buddy. I really appreciate your on this wonderful lookandfeel framework)
Congratulations and thank you for another release of the best looking look and feel :)
IMO Magellan skin looks distorted but that maybe personal taste, the rest looks … ok?
hu? Wasn’t there a webstart link that was broke yesterday? Where is it? Back when it is fixed?
ithink – java.net hosts the images and the webstart binaries. It had some problems over the last few days, and this may have caused the demo to not function properly.
Thanks

Thanks! :)
Kirill, congrats on the new release, i’ve been testing it for the last two days on an app i’ve been working on. Can you help me out with a custom table renderer I have using substance? I have a couple of cells on a table with dates which have been formatted (this is the custom renderer) but the rollover effects are missing on those two cells due to the custom renderer using the substance L&F, I’d like to retain the substance rollover color effects for those two cells with the custom renderer. Is this possible? The FAQ question 13 was not too helpful for me. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Roberto,
The right place to discuss this is on the project forums / mailing lists. Please repost your question there and we can continue the conversation.
Thanks
