# :: Readme :: Looks 2.4 :: The JGoodies Looks make your Swing applications and applets look better. The package consists of a Windows look&feel and the Plastic look&feel family. These have been optimized for readability, precise micro-design and usability. Since version 2.4 the JGoodies Looks requires Java 5 or later and the JGoodies Common library. Looks versions for Java 1.4 are available in the JGoodies Archive. ## Top Questions :: What are the main benefits? :: Can I use the Looks in a commercial product? :: How to get started? :: Where do I get support? :: How to report a problem? :: What are the differences between the Sun and JGoodies Windows L&Fs? ## Distribution Contents

## Acknowledgements The Looks project has been financed by customers of the JGoodies Swing Suite and the Java desktop team at Sun Microsystems. It is only with their money that I can provide, maintain and improve this library at no charge. Thanks to those who have taken the time to identify, report and discuss issues in the JGoodies Looks. And many thanks to Andrej Golovnin who has reported, verified, managed and fixed several issues. His patches have improved the quality of the JGoodies Looks and have helped me save time. He's also a frequent and valueable poster in the Looks user mailing list. ## Third Party Licenses Since version 2.1 the Plastic L&f family uses some icons from the Tango project licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license.
