hi,

have you recently seen the GUI of Winamp3? It's amazing, it seems to be a
vector graphic. You can scale it smoothly as you want, as if the complete
GUI were a picture, all the fonts and sliders etc scale together. I heard
this is the next big thing, also for web scalable sites.

Is such a vector approach thinkable for developing with Java? Are there
libraries for vector GUIs?

Well, there's Batik:

That does SVG graphics.

The newer GNOME desktop can use SVG for it's icons. I know that in the
released version of its library (librsvg), the performance was seen to
be just as fast or faster than PNG.

Hmm... a quick Google search on "java svg" seems to also find
