Text rendering fix - PLEASE READ
Hi all,
I recently checked in a fix for PIVOT-393, which should improve text rendering and make it look more like native text. You can see an example here:
http://ixnay.biz/PIVOT-393/kitchen-sink.html
If you have a moment, please run this app and let me know if you see any issues with the text rendering. I am particularly interested in feedback from Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Linux users, as well as Windows XP users who are not using ClearType font smoothing.
Dirk - I would also appreciate it if you would re-run the test one more time. I made a minor optimization to the paint() methods of components that use GlyphVectors and I would like to verify that it does not have any impact on the output.
Thanks for your help.
Greg

Windows XP SP3 32bit, JRE 6 Update 19, LCD 1280x1024 at 32 bit, with
ClearType off (standard), and on (cleartype).
The output is best than before (text is more clear than previous tests).
I'll re-test this new version as soon as possible again on Windows 7.
You can find the new screenshots and some comment here:

Bye,
Sandro

Re: Style options for Table

Feel free to submit a JIRA ticket to rename the style and add support for an alternate foreground color.

Thanks Greg, though I agree that name is not consistent with other naming convention.

The alternateRowColor style defines the background color of odd rows. Setting an alternate foreground color isn't currently supported, though perhaps it should be (e.g. alternateRowColor and alternateRowBackgroundColor).

Thanks Jérôme. I suspect that the page load time is unrelated to this change. It may have to do with the fact that the page is hosted on ixnay.biz vs. pivot.apache.org.

Windows 7
Firefox3.6 & ie8
The output is best than before (text is very clear) but the page is longer
to load.
There are no bugs for me.
