Re: Compact Buttons ( was: NullPointerException in MacButtonUI...)

And the real issue is this. The code below when run under Metal produces
evenly looking buttons, but under Aqua, button "b" is much bigger than
button "a". Is there any way (preferably PLaF independent) to make them
look the same (like button "a", that is)?

One way you could be certain that your buttons all look the same might be to write an Icon which draws the text and has a fixed width. That way all your buttons will appear to have an identical size and should get the same border:

pseudo-code....

class TextIcon implements Icon {
private String text;

public TextIcon(String text) {
this.text = text;
}

public int getIconWidth() {
return 24;
}

public int getIconHeight() {
return 24;
}

public void paintIcon(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y) {
g.drawString(text, x+..., y+...);
}
}
