  `JButton.buttonType` to `roundRect`).
- ComboBox, Spinner and TextField: Support round border style (set client
  property `JComponent.roundRect` to `true`).
- Paint nicely rounded buttons, comboboxes, spinners and text fields when
  setting `Button.arc`, `Component.arc` or `TextComponent.arc` to a large value
  (e.g. 1000).
