It gives me great pleasure to announce the official release for version 4.3 of Substance look-and-feel (code-named Nairobi). The list of new features includes:

Decoration painters
Much better layout of menus and menu items
Highlight painters
Auto-scroll on scroll panes
Visuals for disabled selected buttons
Usability of tab close buttons
First support for very large fonts

It was on this day in 2005 that Substance project has been created. It is now three years old and to celebrate this occasion i have redesigned the main project page to be less cluttered and a little better organized. Hope that you like it, and if you have any comments, i will be more than interested to hear your opinion.

A few screenshots of the new functionality in Substance 4.3:

Colorized visuals of disabled selected buttons:

A button with 72 pixel font:
