Highlights

This release brings a complete rewrite of menu item layout with stable left margins, right aligned accelerators (as in Windows and macOS) and larger gap between text and accelerator. The text and accelerator are no longer layouted in "columns", which makes menu width smaller.

Also a new "underline" menu selection style is now available:

Can be enabled with:

UIManager.put( "MenuItem.selectionType", "underline" );

Change Log

• Menus: New menu item renderer brings stable left margins, right aligned
  accelerators and larger gap between text and accelerator. This makes menus
  look more modern and more similar to native platform menus.
• New underline menu selection style that displays selected menu items similar
  to tabs (to enable use UIManager.put( "MenuItem.selectionType", "underline" );).
• Menus: Fixed text color of selected menu items that use HTML. (issue #87)
• Menus: On Windows, pressing F10 now activates the menu bar without
  showing a menu popup (as usual on Windows platform). On other platforms the
  first menu popup is shown.
• Menus: On Windows, releasing Alt key now activates the menu bar (as
  usual on Windows platform). (issue #43)
• Menus: Fixed inconsistent left padding in menu items. (issue #3)
• Menus: Fixed: Setting iconTextGap property on a menu item did increase left
  and right margins. (issue #54)
• Hide mnemonics if window is deactivated (e.g. Alt+Tab to another
  window). (issue #43)
• macOS: Enabled drop shadows for popup menus and combobox popups. (issue #94)
• macOS: Fixed NPE if using JMenuBar in JInternalFrame and macOS screen menu
  bar is enabled (with -Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true). (issue #90)
