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:

• Hey Kirill, Love your L&F's they really are slick! I'm having a couple of problems with them. I tried to post on the project home but couldn't seem to find the post button? The problems I have are 1) Tabs on JTabbedPanes don't seem to inherit their background colors. This is vital for my application as color coded tabs increase useability massively. 2) a similar problem, JLists dont' seem to inherit background colour from the Renderer that sets them? Thanks for you help. Well done and great piece of software.
