EVALUATION Waiting for 2D rfe 4726365. ###@###.### 2003-06-06 The Windows Look and Feel will now use the same anti-aliasing as the current desktop settings: none, standard(gasp) or cleartype/lcd. The settings are also dynamically tracked. The same "follow the desktop settings" code has also been implemented for the GTK Look and Feel. ###@###.### 2005-05-19 18:15:50 GMT
