FlatLaf - Flat Look and Feel
============================

**FlatLaf** is a modern **open-source** cross-platform Look and Feel for Java
Swing desktop applications.

It looks almost flat (no shadows or gradients), clean, simple and elegant.
FlatLaf comes with **Light**, **Dark**, **IntelliJ** and **Darcula** themes,
scales on **HiDPI** displays and runs on Java 8 or newer.

The look is heavily inspired by **Darcula** and **IntelliJ** themes from
IntelliJ IDEA 2019.2+ and uses almost the same colors and icons.
